The BBC director of audio and music, Jenny Abramsky, has called on the
commercial sector to unite with the corporation to tackle the issues that
threaten the future of digital audio broadcasting (DAB) radio.

This was reported on BBC news yesterday.

It is about 25 minutes into the 6PM news, available on-line for a
couple more hours.

The gist was Jenny begging the commercial sector to get behind DAB, or
risk radio slowly dying.

I wonder if her imminent departure from the BBC, and the apparent
failure of her favourite platform, prompted this at all?

Cheers,
David.
