ARLA/CLUSTER: RE:BBC encerra emissões em Onda Media

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Temo que o estudo de 5 semanas para desligar as emissões locais em
Onda Media da BBC, possa passar a encerramento definitivo, alias como
aconteceu com o World Service em 648 kHz a 27 de Março de 2011. Alias,
o governo britanico pretende que até 2015 se faça o "radio switching
off" analogico, passando a só existir radio digital o Reino Unido,
muito embora esta opção esteje a ter uma fortissima contestação.

Pelo menos lá, ainda se faz um estudo, porque aqui em Portugal, o
prometido "estudo" em relação à RDP i nunca existiu.

BBC Medium Wave switch-off trial

The BBC is undertaking a 5-week trial from the 17th August to the 24th
September to switch off existing MW services for four BBC local radio
stations

They are BBC Radio Kent, BBC Radio Lincolnshire, BBC Radio Merseyside
and BBC Radio Nottingham

The BBC say one way to make savings and preserve value to licence fee
payers is to switch off MW services except where listeners depend upon
MW as an alternative to FM and DAB.

MW services mainly duplicate what is already available on FM and DAB,
and most listeners will be able to hear their local stations on FM.
The BBC is also committed to a full roll out of local radio stations
across the DAB network. If local radio is not already available on DAB
it will be in the future.

The aim of the trial is to get a better understanding of the impact of
the loss of MW for our core listeners and also enable us to ensure
adequate coverage is available on other platforms in these
