With the same dire sounds .. music and speech...

Its nice to see broadcast radio still healthy enough for new stations to
pop up but I really wonder why they bother. I'd have thought an FM RSL
would be have been more useful. Or even an AM license. Broadcast on FM a
couple of months a year to pull in listeners and stay on the internet for the
rest of it.

If we were using DVB-T2-Lite instead of DAB, then stations like this could take a 48k slot, and using aac+ they would at least sound listenable.
