BBC to add HD Radio
It was reported in the Daily Telegraph today that BBC Radio 3 will be available as a 320kbps AAC stream from December.
Pirate Radio: Did I blog too soon?
I received an email today from the BBC suggesting that, on their initial investigation, the radio station causing the interference to Radio 4 is potentially a pirate radio station.
The email goes on to say it might take a while before the station is eventually closed down.
I’m impressed, something appears to be happening.
Is pirate radio helping DAB?
BBC Radio 4 FM on a portable radio around here is spoilt by breakthrough from a pirate which I think is called Riddim Radio. RR appears to be spilling out everywhere and it sounds somewhat overmodulated. I complained by the BBC website expecting an email or a call in response but basically nothing than the standard reply stating I might not get a reply.
I know this is a bit conspiracy theory like, but pirate radio must be pushing more people to DAB. So it makes sense that the BBC or whoever is now responsible – is it OFCOM? – don’t bother to shut down the pirates.
Didn’t work with me; I bought a internet radio, a lovely Squeezebox Radio, which was installed in minutes. It gives me access to Radio 4 via iPlayer at a decent bit rate – 128kbps AAC – access to Radio Paradise and other great internet radio stations and all my stored music.
Ticket rip-off?
I’ve just received my tickets to see The Gaslight Anthem at Southampton Guildhall. Three good value tickets at £16.50 standing turn out to be not so good value after the £8.25 service charge and the £3.25 processing fee has been added. How is it acceptable for the extra costs just to buy three tickets to be over 23%? I’m not sure if the extra 23% goes to Southampton Guildhall, Live Nation or Ticketmaster .co.uk but whichever they should be embarrassed by the lack of transparency, the rip-off nature of the style of advertising.
Naim adds to Ovator range with S-400
Naim today launched the Ovator S-400 loudspeaker the smaller sibling to the first in the Ovator series, the S-600. The design brief of the S-400 was simple: To take all the elements of the S-600 loudspeaker and to produce a smaller model more suited to smaller rooms but which would not compromise the essential musical communication of the S-600.
