Really Fed up!

I am so cross!  They're going to close down theJazz after only 15 months.  After all, it's only got a million listeners and increasing its audience all the time!

I think the broadcasting authorities have got it in for me.  First of all they closed down Oneword and now it's theJazz, goddammit!

They've already wrecked BBC7 by broadcasting children's TV during the afternoons and repeating stuff ad nauseam.

It must be a plot to make us all listen to Radio 4.

Grrrrr!  I am SO ANGRY!!!

I expect they plan another bloody pop station churning out rap and over-fast "music".


I rather like pop music meself (although I'm not keen on rap), but there are quite enough pop stations already. Wretched people!

...there are quite enough pop stations already.

Absolutely - of the thirty-odd to be heard on DAB in this area, I can hardly tell t'other from which. I got DAB as I thought there'd be a greater variety of stations, including some specialist ones, but it seems to be almost all taken up by a mass of pop stations all trying to compete for the same audience.

We haven't gone DAB yet - I understand they're changing the standard or something soon too and rendering the first generation of DAB radios obsolete. Abstrads.

Yes, I'd heard that too - they want to use a newer digital encoding protocol that'll let them put out more bandwidth (so either more stations, and/or better quality per station) on one transmitter. AIUI both old and new sets will still get the stations currently on-air, but eventually all the old sets will be scrap when all the stations have changed over to the newer protocol.

Abstrads.

Absolutely.
