[cma-l] Raspberries, Steroids and Low Cost DAB

[Artisan Broadcast]

Hi Nick

As well as for now.  I never felt, during the demo or in any of the
follow-up, that this was a means to replace FM.  So I don't think we should
get bogged down in that here.  Let's look at this for what it is ... an
opportunity to trial an accessible form of digital radio.

5-6 years you only had the option to spend £12,000 to £20,000 in your first
year to get your single station on DAB.  This smaller scale version is only
going to cost a fraction of that per service (up to six of course).  Don't
knock it until we've 'trialled' it.
