Jeremy Vine FM switch-off debate today. As usual, BBC R2, just after
1.15pm. Will be on Listen Again.

Seems like the usual uninformed rubbish.

Simply hiding again the real political reasoning, which is that Ofcom
have given up trying to police FM band 2.

Moving main Broadcasters to what Ofcom believe is controllable
DAB, means they can then deregulate Band 2 leaving it to
Radio smackmybitchup, broadcasting from a council high rise in Peckham.

There's an easy way of dealing wih the problem of pirate radio in London:
move the Wrotham transmitters to Crystal Palace.

There's no need for the main FM station to be out at Wrotham, and moving
it means the pirates would have to compete with a 240 kW signal instead of
just 4 kW from CP.

That would cope with the problem for BBC Radios 1,2,3,4 and Classic FM.
Increase power for the other stations like Capital FM and Heart towards
the 240 kW level also and the job's done.


What, repeat BBC Radios 1,2,3,4 and Classic FM every 300kHz from 87.5MHz?
How else would shifting them to CP make any difference to Radio
Smackmybitchup?

Well, if they wanted to jam all the vacant channels in London they could do
it with just one transmitter at Crystal Palace or Croydon with the same
power as any of the 5 at Wrotham. It would have to specially engineered with
wide bandwidth, similar to a TV transmitter, and broadcast maybe 40 spikes
on the frequencies presently available to pirates. These would not have to
be modulated.

For an e.r.p. of 4 kW on each frequency (the same as Capital FM) a total erp
of about 160 kW would be required, which is nothing very special, and no
more than any one of dozens of main stations in the BBC National FM Radio
network.

Quite how the pirates would react I don't know.

I know what you are all going to say...but with the FL somebody WAS to
blame.......

No many people just find Jeremy's voice in t off key drone he has, severely
irritating.

Even more irritating than Chris Evens, and the Woss brothers.

Only just started listening, he already commented that there are loads
of people calling in saying FM is just fine, leave it alone.
(this was just before the news, a bit less than an hour into it)

You mean like the guy who said "the quality is 10 times better"....

10 times better than listening to a pneumatic drill.

Interesting how the only member of the public they put on air was a DAB
supporter. What about the loads of people saying leave FM alone, why
weren't any of those people allowed to give their opinions on air.
