Steve, I like Five Live and, when we can get it, Sports Extra.  I think the 
quality of DAB is completely awful, but I prefer listening to sport on DAB than 
on MW.  Other than that, forget it!

  Hi Jackie,

  As far as I am concerned, DAB is, and always was, a big con.  The BBC and 
others led us to believe that it would be CD quality.  No such luck.  128K at 
best, except for Radio 3, which I believe peaks at 192KB.  Dreadful quality, 
and I certainly wouldn't miss it.  You get better bandwidth listening to the 
radio on Sky.  Now FM is a different matter altogether.  When they switch that 
off, I will miss that dreadfully, as that is still the best quality radio if 
you have a good aerial and receiver.

  All the best

  Steve

  And Simon Mayo is discussing the possible demise in digital radio at 1.00

    I just heard on the midday news on Radio4 that the group who own Clasic fm 
are going to close there 2 dab only stations namely THe Jazz and Planet Rock.  
I don't listen to Planet Rock, but will greatly miss The Jazz.
