DRM & DAB Updates, Times Radio, and a new DRM Radio

摘要

I listened to the opening morning of Times Radio. If you do like news, then tune in for a new experience. The biggest difference to other talk stations is that the presenters have lots of time for every topic; perhaps this pace has been chosen to be akin to reading a newspaper. At times, there seemed to be more presenter chat and less news, but then the show is four hours long. The other shows are just three hours long. Apart from The Marietta Frostrup Show, just after lunch, I have not sampled them. I am now slowly drifting back to talkRADIO and LBC News. On Day One of the broadcast, some smart speakers retrieved 'Times Radio Malawi' instead, and the owner of that station was interviewed the following morning on the Breakfast Show. By then the confusion was starting to sort itself out. The slogans of the two stations are 'Know Your Times' (UK) and 'It's About Time'.
