Trouble is, a DAB channel is much easier to close down than an analogue one from the transmitter point of view - they can just sell the vacated bandwidth to the next firm that fancies having a go at digital radio, rather than being left with a transmitter on a set FM or AM frequency sitting unused on a hilltop.
I noticed that Oneword had been replaced by 'Birdsong' a little while ago, but I didn't know about the Radio 7 changes - I must confess to being a Radio 4/LBC 97.3/ LBC News 1152 listener (and very occasionally Talksport), both on DAB and on FM/AM. All the other DAB stations in this neck of the woods seem to pump out various types of pop music, almost none of which does anything for me.
I hope they replace The Jazz and Oneword with something decent.
