It may be that DAB radio becomes the Betamax of broadcasting. Just at the point where it becomes technically possible for larger number of stations to start serving niche audiences, the spread of broadband internet means that internet-based services can serve those niche audiences better.

Yes, that was my first thought, too. I’ve only heard it once or twice, but the station does seem to have a very ‘safe’ playlist.

I’ll stick with the web-based services which learn one’s preferences whilst still offering new music one mightn’t otherwise hear.
