Ray, I think DAB is becoming a farce to be honest. I primarily use it for
Five Live and Five Live Sports Extra. I used to listen to Core regularly
as
well. I don't know why they don't just put Capital FM on there and be
done
with it. Whenever I go home, it's the first thing I do on the train
whenever it comes into focus, and when I get to the family, I swap their
radio station over to it while I'm there.
Yeah, what lists are there to yap about radio? But just to keep this ever
so slightly techie in an accessible sense, the Sonus is going to say Beat
106, One Word and Core because it's tagged, one of the reasons why I
parted
company with mine (smile).

Yes Jackie! In case I didn't make it clear, the Bird Song is very
popular, though not sure if it attracts more than the 150,000
listeners audience research supposedly identified for OneWord.
I wish there were a more appropriate place to discuss this, but
briefly I think the business model for a station like OneWord was
always very flawed. I wish in a rather vague way, was room for a more
socially oriented business, or businesses, maybe sharing a channel
with each having, say, four or six hour slots, maybe repeated on some
sort of cycle. I'd be tempted to try such a discussion on Vi-gen, but
some there are happier talking about, say, how many guide dogs you can
stuff in a taxi!
Final thought.. Does anyone know how active the one or two radio
lists mentioned on Whitestick are?

Maybe few if any bother with these dab stations, but OneWord and
Core
are no more. You'll hear bird song on the former OneWord Channel -
which apparantly is much missed by some.
Whether OneWord will be missed not sure, but it was initially a good
effort. Rumour has it that Channel 4 Radio, which was the majority
share holder, was playing somewaht unethical games by using the
acquisition of OneWord to lever its way into the Award of new DAB
channels comingsoon.
A press release that mentions none of that is at:
http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/news/display.asp?id=289
Where there's reference to Core too.
Cheers,
