Talk Sport.... Gone from my DAB

[Deleted User] · 17/02/09 - 14:38

I've had a quick flick through the past few pages, but cant find anything. Apologies if I've missed it. On Sunday Talksport disappeared from my DAB radio in my kitchen. Thought nothing of it, apart from being a bit peeved and thought it was just my radio. But when I tried my other DAB upstairs, it had disappeared from there as well. Does anyone know what going on???? Many thanks for any info

It's OK for me. There could possibly be engineering work going on at your local DAB transmitter.

If that's the case then Absolute, Classic FM and Planet Rock should have disappeared too.

Yep, all 3 are not there! Any other views???? I live in the Medway area of Kent.

Working okay South of London.....until I throw Durham and Wright out the window anyway.

everything fine here from the Sutton TX. I'm guessing it has to be something local as stations do not just disapear like that

(sorry for being frivolus)

Look as like it might be the Bluebell Hill TX that covers your area , are the other muxes OK?. Might be a fault at the TX site or work to increase the Switch mux power or TV switchover?

Cheers for the responses. Bluebell Hill is definitely my local transmitter, so I'll check out the web links. Cant stand Wrighty and Durham but have developed a liking for Mr Collymore:o
Thanks

Did you have to pay extra for the upgrade?

All sorted

Many thanks hanssolo and other posters.
I e-mailed a v nice lady @ Pure?Dab ... per the link above. There was a problem with the Bluebell Hill transmitter last weekend but it was rectified, but it caused my radio to lock. A quick autotune and its all fine. Apologies but autotune was completely alien to me, didnt even notice the button till I pressed it.

Ta for all your input
