Online, On Digital Radio And On 88 To 91FM...

Forgive us, but when we listen to the radio, we listen hard. The slogan for all-conquering BBC Radio 2 seems to have grown an extra word.

Just as we had got used to online, on digital and on 88 to 91FM, those of us with nothing better to do spotted the change to online, on digital radio and on 88 to 91FM.

What's in a word? We are listening more and more on anything that isn't a radio. We listen on laptops, mobile phones, games consoles, notebooks and although we are listening to the radio, the device we are listening on isn't called a radio anymore.

With so many other ways to listen, sales of DAB radios are slow. Reception is getting better but we early-adopters were plagued with drop-outs and poor sound quality. Here in Derbyshire, we have fantastic reception now but it does not sound any better. Listening to Radio 2 on DAB reminds us of the 693 and 909AM days.

Is that one extra word one last push to promote DAB Digital Radio? Ours has been consigned to the attic with the other expensive techie failures.

Happy listening and let us know what you are listening to while we list the Editor's Choice on the left.
