As for what you can get on DAB that you can't get on AM or FM, there's
one heck of a lot. Then when you include the 'other' digital platforms
the choice becomes phenominal.
Not around here you can't. If you like the birdsong loop or 24 hour East Anglian Traffic News – you're onto a winner. (Why do they have a Traffic news station on DAB by the way, when no-one in a car can hear them?!) Other than that there's not a great deal to be had here in the wild Cambs / Suffolk border country.
I listen to BBC7 sometimes on DAB which I admit can be great (although it's all repeats of stuff I've heard before on R4), but that's about it. The magic high pressure god sometimes brings stuff like LBC our way, or KERRANG! or, bizzarely BBC Radio Shropshire, but not very often.
Out of interest, I can listen to Play Radio in the car, walking down the
street, or in my house.
On what though? If it's a mobile then it probably cost a fortune and I'm sorry, I'm not walking down the street tied to a bloomin' laptop! Aside from the nostalgic element mentioned in a previous post- I'd be happy to use something other than a transistor set, but nothing I've found so far compares in terms of station choice, cost and portability.
Regards,
Giles.
