Indeed.

You do realize that the lazy hacks at the Daily Mail


Actually, that piece got more facts right than the vast majority of digital
radio-related articles I've read, so I don't think it was a lazily written
article at all.


are only churning
out these articles as part of a pre-election campaign to smear the
present government and that they are completely insincere about the cause
of their sanctimonious platitudes?


How do you know that they're "completely insincere about the cause"? I would
say that the Daily Mail opposing the switching off of FM stations would
actually be right up their street, to be honest. And I'm sure they'd like to
give the BBC a blooded nose if possible.


Furthermore their motivation is not to help the individual radio
listener but to further the causes, and thus the profits, of
their friends and supporters in the commercial radio industry.


The DMGT is no longer a shareholder of GCap Media - GCap Media was taken
over by Global Radio, and Global Radio is now owned by 4 or 5 Irish
billionaires.

And the tone of that piece was hardly that which you'd find from "friends
and supporters".
