<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=4>I was really surprised when
I read this in the Independent this morning and was hoping someone would pick up
on this on the forum! Apart from the obvious lost of listeners, I have
just chucked out my digital radio at home and brought a nice new fm one because
in North Bristol I can't get a digital signal on my radio .........and
don't get me started on the useless TV reception even after paying for all the
boosters etc.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=4>Is anyone on the CMA board
highlighting this with the new 'powers that be'?</FONT></DIV>
