Update UK
The latest audience results confirm DAB as by far the most popular digital radio platform in the UK. On a like-for-like comparison, DAB achieved 12 times more radio listening than either Internet Radio or radio over Digital television. During December consumers bought 25,000 DAB digital radios a day, and a major London department store sold more DAB radios per minute than iPods. Ofcom, the government regulator, has also recently announced the award of the second DAB national radio multiplex to the 4 Digital Group Limited. This multiplex license will allow the 4 Digital Group to broadcast radio and multimedia services. There are also plans to provide a selection of pod casts using DAB+. Slideshow trials are currently on going in the London area.
