JasonJones01 post_id=61991 time= user_id=1783 Wrote:DAB+ is different from DAB. Standard DAB is good as that is what most receivers can get, the + version is newer so you need a better receiver especially aerial, if processor or ariel is not good quality then DAB+ signal will break up more. So look at your equipment if quality is not as good as you expect before complaining broadcaster is at fault. Plus GBNews do not operate broadcasts they send it to a base station and distribution companies like Arqiva operate the arial masts that broadcast arial signals. So if signal is bad its the transmitter company not GBNews at fault.

Actually no. The complete opposite is the case, DAB+ signals are actually more robust than 'vanilla' DAB ones. Therefore (everything else being equal) a DAB+ signal will hang together for longer. Also you don't get the 'bubbling mud' effect that plagues low signal DAB, it's a far smoother decay
What might be confusing you is DAB+ is only available on non BBC muxes. The BBC DAB mux has significantly better coverage than the other two national muxes, so it might appear that DAB+ is poorer. It's not per se.

As I expected, the radio version sounds a lot like when US radio stations simulcast local TV coverage during extreme weather.

The quality of the DAB+ feed itself seems decent enough - it's just the acoustics. The acoustics of a large TV studio are quite different from a smaller radio studio with acoustic paneling - although my background is in radio, so I probably notice this much more than the average listener.

Intrigued as to what will be different on Monday after Eamonn saying that from next week there will be some changes to the breakfast show.

I think he just meant he'd be started at 6 along with Isabel instead of joining at half past.

Regardless of the political rhetoric GB News puts out, it is still an Ofcom regulated channel and apologies will be made for curse words, however tame the word is.

Although I never worked in news when I worked in community radio, we had training on such issues before we were allowed on-air.

Muroki (and others) should have had this basic training before she was even allowed to pilot a show in the first place.

I wonder Maajid Narwaz will soon be joining?

It’s quite amusing Nana apologised for it on behalf on GB News, only for them to publish his statement as the title of the video.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's trialled as a contributor first before he's offered a presenting gig.

Agreed. Only slots I can see are 3-4pm and 6-7pm on Saturday (one of which I assume will be taken up by Calvin Robinson’s new show) and 6-7pm on Sunday. All are currently scheduled as highlights

Is it just here in Somerset, but some ad breaks are full of ads for companies in Wales? Watching on Sky Q. Is it AdSmart gone wrong?

That music for Mark Dolan Tonight is just dreadful. It feels out of sync with the graphics.
