maureen: Sorry that you are disappointed.
It might be possible that LBC could return on a local DAB transmission, or perhaps on the second national commercial DAB multiplex... whenever that gets done.

From BBC News | UK | Dyke outlines digital BBC
"Friday, 25 August, 2000
The BBC of the future will have five channels tailored to specific audiences to enable it to survive in the digital age.
The director general of the BBC, Greg Dyke, outlined his plans for the future of the corporation in the MacTaggart Lecture in Edinburgh.
He announced the creation of two new channels - BBC Three and BBC Four - which would be aimed at particular audience groups.
BBC Three, which will come from the existing channel BBC Choice, will offer original British comedy, drama and music as well as providing arts, education and social action programming designed to attract a young audience.
BBC Four, which will develop from the BBC Knowledge channel, will be "unashamedly intellectual".
The two other new services would be children's programmes, shown during the day on BBC Three and Four - one for pre-school children and the second for children aged between six and 13."

And I think this put to bed the "the listener/ compulsive up to then licence payer had no choice but to accept the totally undescriptive numbering" as the matter was discussed in Parliament on. 22 July 1969
BROADCASTING IN THE SEVENTIES (B.B.C. PLAN) (Hansard, 22 July 1969)
Any more straw men?

jay: According to the BBC (of all people)
"Listening to 60 minutes of Radio may consume up to 60MB of data."
BBC iPlayer - Help - How much will it cost to use BBC iPlayer on my mobile phone over 3G networks?
That would use about 720MB over the 12 hours. Which isn't much on a fixed connection, or if you have a 3 "all you can eat" contract.
