Hi! The following comes from a Melbourne perspective, I live just outside Melbourne thus I listen to both Digital and AM radio.
This year Radio station 3AW are splitting the station when cricket broadcast are scheduled. For example tonight’s match between Australia and South Africa, the live commentary airs on 3AW 693 and the standard Nightline show can be heard on 3AW digital and its already proved highly amusing, heaps of calls from very distant areas wanting to know where they can buy digital radio sets? Most likely that the poor souls calling up would have to travel to Melbourne to get one as their local stores probably don’t even know what they’re talking about. As far as I’m concerned? Well Cricket ought to be banned in my opinion however - putting aside personal opinions - if I want to hear the cricket on Digital Radio I can hear the 3AW coverage on NTS. ********** Dane Trethowan [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
