Vanessa Collingridge tells it as it is

If I were a kangaroo an Ausi...here, she deserves ten minutes of your time.
 
Yeah, new technologies can take decades or scores to implement.
Think it was just DAB without the + back then.
 
That video was not journalism; it was nothing but a 10-minute misinfomercial!

DAB has yet to catch on anywhere, with good reason. Just look at the comments on that YouTube page.

The only things worth hearing in that video were the snippets of classical music – and the one of Clarence “Frogman” Henry.

Has it caught on anywhere with bad reason ???
Diversity reception is the key to providing perfect reception.
I experience less than perfect satellite radio reception for not more than a few seconds each month, while I am oblivious to the various component streams coming and going all the time.
Other features are gravy.
Audio issues can be worked out by the stations channels and the market.
While not ideal, DAB really has only one advantage over every other system:
It is the best system for terrestrial broadcasting.
Of course, we must not balance the uneven playing field from which signal challenged stations suffer.
 
That is exactly the reason DAB and Eureka never caught on here. This is America, the place where we value equality, except on the dial. There, we desperately cling to our pre-war frequency and power allocations to make sure that some stations are "haves" and others are "have nots".

It would be a terrible thing if every station in a market came in clearly and at the same strength. Then the only thing you would have to differentiate yourself with would be the quality of your programming. Heaven forbid it should come to that!
