  These are not necessarily what I would listen to, but would add a bit of variety and something different on Freeview.
  
  Planet Rock
  Classic FM
  Jazz FM
  LBC
  - I know these are all either Global or Bueuer, but there aren't many others that would be viable. Perhaps The Breeze, which is expanding rapidly.
  
  Also an 'Absolute Radio player' with all the Absolute stations available online through a portal on 727.

  Absolute Classic Rock

  Absolute 60s

  Absolute 70s

  Absolute 80s

  Absolute 90s

  Absolute 00s

  
  Perhaps a portal for local Community Radio stations as well.

  As BBC Radio London (94.9) is already on Freesat adding it to Freeview should be straightforard (?)

  well with IP usage you would think all these radio stations would be making an appearance.
  
  
  Also surprised BT have not used that method as a way to get vision out to the more casual customer

  Absolute Radio 80s
  The internet station 80s and more but cant see that coming to Freeview
  Classic FM just so all the national stations would then be on Freeview. For im not a big fan of classical music.
  One of the Bueuer owned AM radio stations broadcasting from Scotland. As there are to many London based radio stations on Freeview
  3FM from the Isle Of Man

  Can't think of 5 but it would be good if we had our local BBC station.

  It's a great idea, but some transmitters may need to carry several stations, if it can even be done at transmitter level. If It can only be done at regional level, BBC East, for example would need to carry Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambs, Northants, and Three Counties on Sudbury, Sandy Heath and Tacolneston and their relays. It would be expensive and not really worthwhile when a far greater priority should be given to regions in HD.
  
  Having them through connected red button should be much easier to do though, with them all being available from every transmitter.
