Podcasting and the ubiquity of MP3 players have doomed digital radio
before it even launches in Australia, one of the country's leading
broadcasting academics says.
Existing radio broadcasters are relying on the upcoming digital services - set
to launch on January 1 next year - to help them stay modern and continue
attracting younger audiences.
Digital radio will initially launch only in the capital cities and requires
listeners
to buy new digital radio receivers. Radios already installed in devices such
as cars and mobile phones will need to be upgraded as they are now
analogue only.
But Jock Given, a professor of media and communications at Swinburne
University, who specialises in digital broadcasting, predicts the industry will
have difficulty convincing people to upgrade.
He said that, unlike upgrading from analogue to digital television, where
there were clear image quality benefits, digital radio didn't add much to the
digital audio offerings already freely available on the internet and painlessly
portable via MP3 players.
Given's comments were sparked by GCap, one of Britain's largest
commercial radio operators, announcing it would quit digital radio to focus
on analogue and online services. GCap's reasoning was that digital radio
was not an "economically viable platform".
GCap's move is a stinging indictment of the prospects of digital radio in
Australia because Britain was seen as one of the markets in which the
platform had been relatively successful.
"The idea that everyone is going to do it [upgrade] just because it's digital,
I
think that's naive, because the present is digital," said Given, who recently
wrote the book Turning Off The Television: Broadcasting's Uncertain Future.
"The sorts of people who are most likely to be interested in new kinds of
[digital radio] products seem to me to be quite likely the people who have
already taken up new kinds of [online] digital audio products and may find
what digital radio is able to offer them a bit underwhelming by comparison
with what they've already got."
Digital radio will be accessed in a similar way to today's radio but can offer
listeners additional features such as potentially better sound quality, access
to images and text information such as track listings, news headlines and
weather reports and, potentially, more shows.
Broadcasters have already committed to investing tens of millions of dollars
in the initial roll out of digital radio and hundreds of millions more will be
needed for a complete national roll out over the next few years.
Given, a former member of the Digital Radio Advisory Committee, said the
launch of digital radio had already been delayed significantly - the Federal
Government first announced plans a decade ago - because local radio
broadcasters questioned the commercial benefits of investing so much in
digital infrastructure.
He said the issue would continue to plague digital radio as the distribution of
digital audio via the internet was far cheaper. As well, while digital radio
requires new receivers, consumers with a computer and the internet already
had all that was required to tune into radio online.
"Here is this well-placed commercial radio operator in Britain [GCap] saying
we're getting out of this game having stuck with it for 13 years, meanwhile
here in Australia we're just getting started with it," Given said.
"We're a market that's a third of the size of Britain spread across a much
larger land mass and so the job of financing interesting new services with
this technology is tougher."
Digital radio has also struggled in Canada, with the communications
regulator concluding a year ago that adoption by consumers had stalled and
there were "only token efforts under way to promote the digital radio services
that have been launched".
Given acknowledged that digital radio had the potential to offer higher quality
broadcasts but said this depended on a range of variables, such as the data
rates chosen by the individual radio stations.
"There's a trade-off between the number of stations and the quality of any
individual station," he said.
Joan Warner, chief executive of the national industry body, Commercial
Radio Australia, said like any new medium, digital radio would inevitably
have detractors.
She did not respond to Given's claims any further other than to say digital
radio would "be the most exciting innovation for the industry in many years
and will provide listeners with clearer sound and a myriad of other great
features".

Govt to set up 93 AIR transmitters in two years
The government has proposed to set up 93 All India
Radio transmitters and 41 Doordarshan transmitters in
the country during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 at a cost
of Rs 1.82 billion and Rs 1.98 billion respectively.
In addition, 100 Low Power Transmitters (LPTs) will
also be set up in the north eastern states.
Factors such as extent of resultant coverage to urban
and rural population; provision of coverage to tribal,
hilly, remote and border areas; terrain conditions
will decide the location of the new transmitters, and
these will be put up irrespective of the number of
cities.
This information was given by the minister of
information and broadcasting and parliamentary
affairs, P R Dasmunsi, in a written reply to a
question in the Lok Sabha on 26 February.

** CHINA [and non]. Often all I hear on 9930 after 1400 is Firedrake, jamming
Sound of Hope via KWHR, but Feb 28 at 1412, SOH was axually audible in Chinese
well atop the FD music. Also checked 9930 a few minutes before 1400, and KWHR
was in Korean with no jamming. The K-index was elevated, greatly attenuating
higher-latitude paths to the east on higher bands, but Pacific below 10 MHz was
in well, e.g. also R. Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 7400, Feb 28 at 1417, tune of ``Red River Valley`` but
incongruously with Chinese lyrix, not including anything recognizable even
where ``RRV`` should appear, accompanied by ``authentic instrument`` as Peter
Schickele would say. Shortly into Chinese announcement, pop song, then
something more hymnic. Looked up later, this is FEBC, so no doubt there is a
religious subtext at least. Has the ``RRV`` tune been reset with totally
different lyrix, or does this try to preserve the original idea of the song?
Seems I have heard it before on non-English gospel huxter stations. Its
popularity in the FE may exceed that now in the USA! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Was somewhat startled to hear Spanish around 89.3 MHz on
the YB-400, Feb 27 at 2259 UT, quickly IDed as R. Nacional de Venezuela. Yes,
// 13680 and 15250, both very strong signals via Cuba. After opening in English
and Spanish, had English news until 2309, extremely literally translated. But
what was it doing on 89.3?? Must be a local mixing product. Which Enid FM
stations are 13.68 or 15.25 MHz away? 89.3 + 13.7 = 103.0, close to KOFM 103.1;
89.3 + 15.25 = 104.55, close to KEIF-LP 104.7 --- then slightly detuning to
89.4 I hear KEIF coming thru, so that seems to be the one. Unclear how this
comes about, just in the receiver, or some external mixing, or even the FM
transmitter somehow getting this very strong SW signal into its innards and
then out as AM parasitic the appropriate number of MHz away. Surprising that it
correlates with the low-power station; altho KEIF is somewhat closer, KOFM
ought to have much greater field strength here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL check on Feb 28: good thing I tuned in a bit early,
since the one-minute V/CQ marker was ending just before, rather than after the
1400 timesignal from Russia on 6075. First time I have heard it running one
minute early. The transition was so smooth that you would not know they were
from completely different sources: the pitch of the CW het against 6075 was the
same as the 1 kHz pitch of the time pips (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
PROPAGATION. Despite this situation: Geophysical Alert Message #
Solar-terrestrial indices for 28 February follow. Solar flux 70 and estimated
mid-latitude A-Index 22. The mid-latitude K-index at 2100 UTC on 28 February
was 3 (34 nT). No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No
space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours (SWPC via DXLD)
15, 12, 11 and 10 meters were open as far as Argentina the afternoon of Feb 28;
logs:
2111 on 21305, TI5/KG4UVU, in Costa Rica, pronouncing / as `stroke`, working US
stations. Sounded like contest work, only the basics, but maybe just warming up
for the weekend? I was checking around here just in case VP6DX Ducie was still
going after planned 2000* QRT, but not heard
2113 on 21290, LW9EOC, QRZ and working US stations; seems to have US accent in
English
2114 on 21270, a PY5, could not copy complete call and said he was about to QSY
2124 on 28500, LU8EOT, Mark contacting various US stations
2127 on 28360, TG9AWM in Guatemala City, much stronger signal than the SAms, in
Spanish, somewhat rough modulation, working a CX, Uruguay, later at 2131
calling CQDX in English
2135 on 27025 AM, heavy Jamaican accent, hard to understand, had a call
starting with L plus a letter and some numbers, always mentioned Jamaica, and
said `be gone` instead of over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Background information
BBC Brasil entered the world of international news on
14 March 1938 with the words: ?... Mister Hitler
entered Vienna last night, amid formidable enthusiasm.
Standing up, inside his open car, he repeatedly
answered, with Nazi greetings, to the crowd's
cheering.? The voice belonged to presenter Manuel
Braune, who would be known to millions of radio
listeners as "Aimber??.
BBC Brasil was part of the BBC Empire Service which
began in 1932 as a shortwave service first
broadcasting in English to the outposts of the British
Empire. Initially, the BBC Brazilian service was part
of the Latin American service, and its programmes were
reproductions of the programmes broadcast in English.
Back then, half a dozen Latin American journalists
made programmes for the whole of Latin America and
news in Spanish. During the Second World War, the
Latin American service was divided into two parts: one
broadcasting to Brazil and the other ? to Latin
America?s Spanish-speaking countries.
Today BBC Brasil has restructured itself around its
online offer, with focus on video content and
interactivity. It has around 30 staff based in the UK
and Brazil. The London- based team is supported by a
global network of BBC correspondents and journalists
in key cities across the world. BBC Brasil?s S?o
Paulo-based bureau ? the largest news bureau in Brazil
? houses a major part of the service?s editorial staff
which contributes to the news content and features on
air and online.
BBC Brasil has maintained an unparalleled respect and
credibility as a source of accurate and balanced
information and analysis for Portuguese-speaking
audiences throughout the world. Its timely coverage
of national and global events includes award-winning
programmes such as Children at Work which received the
Great Prize Pr?mio Ayrton Senna of Journalism, Radio
category, in 2004.
BBC Brasil?s radio programmes can be heard in seven
daily news bulletins via partner stations CBN and
Globo networks and on partner television station
Bandeirantes TV while a network of BBC correspondents
across the world provide content for its popular 24x7
website, bbcbrasil.com. Launched in 1999, the website
offers up-to-the minute news and information, features
and analysis on the region and the rest of the world,
in text, audio and video. Its interactive offer
includes major debates, forums, blogs, votes etc.
