Post subject: Pirates in the UK... Why? .... Pcs forum
The FM band has whole MHz worth of bandwidth hi-jacked by the BBC so as to
provide nationwide coverage but it strikes me as over-kill. Each BBC FM
service uses about 2 MHz. I can often pick up one of their stations on 3
different frequencies. E.g. I can get Radio 4 on 93, 93.2 and 93.5 MHz.
Stupid regulations intended to ensure breadth of programming simply mean
that most commercial stations are virtual clones of each other with bland
look-alike programming. In a similar vein 'narrow-casting' is discouraged,
the only 2 stations offering a unique and specialised programming style
being Jazz FM and Classic FM. There's no 'rock channel' at all ! Oh - and
BBC's Radio 3 already offers a full classical music service anyway.
No shortage of phone-ins to let the local retards spout off about rubbish
though !
BBC's Radio 1 which is their 'contemporary music' channel plays the kind
of stuff that you'd expect to hear at the kids' dance raves mainly ( and
almost exclusively - to the extent that a spokesman for that channel once
stated that they weren't intereted in an audience aged over 25 ? ) whilst
their Radio 2 offers MOR for oldies that's 80s weighted - Yuk.
No wonder that pirating is popular in London! <<<<<<
