Damon, You are not quite correct. the station name is pronounced correctly, but the text information given by the station, i.e. which piece of music is playing, is spelled out. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Damon Sent: 14 April 2006 19:43 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: digital radio am I right in thinking that the pure radio doesn't speak out the name of the radio stations in full but spells it out letter by letter? If so, isn't that a less than satisfactory user experience?
