| I had to get a DAB radio as I am hopelessly addicted to Talksport; even the bits that bug the sh!t out of me (like John Gaunt and George Galloway) - but then, that is their purpose.
They only broadcast in MW and DAB. I didn't mind the crackle on the MW, but the occasional total lack of reception got to me. As they are part of Murdochs evil empire I think they were denied an FM license. Which was a bit of a rip off by the regulators, as they have implicitly encouraged more people to buy DAB. While such marketplace manipulating is condoned, there will remain a future for DAB.
I'm surprised a station is being pulled. I heard today that a station on DAB that did nothing but play birdsong for 18 hours a day was doing very well.
