The big difference is that those radio alarms get used very differently. People typically don't spend their time in the dark retiming those radios. Whereas many of us appear to use our Radios quite differently. The lack of back lit buttons isn't a problem for me in the mornings, it is a problem when I'm listening before going to sleep. At that point I am selecting programmes from BBC iPlayer, picking podcasts etc all in the dark. That is when the lack of back lit buttons is a real pain. And that is why the Radio gets relegated to our spare bed room and the Boom stays at my bedside. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
