My question is how can Mi-Soul be applying for a community licence when it's London wide DAB service is an out & out commercial one from what I can hear ? My guess is another Pirate might get one of the licence as looking at the list they are amoungst the best . I would be surprised if ofcom went with Greek beat or Starpoint as LGR & the 3 other soul stations on air in London would make me ask the question what is the point in that ?

The blur between analogue community and digital commercial is increasing and Ofcom say they will sort it with the changes on formats. the full applications are now online This is a copy of my post in the Caroline thread also discussing Quasar on AM in London Quote:

AM is fast becoming obsolete except for ethnic stations and many of these are also now on DAB. But as they say in the Caroline bid many car radios still have AM, which will help justify the transmissions. (although the bit where it says over 45s struggle with new technology will be a bit insulting to many!) Hopefully soon either Caroline or Quasar will also go DAB+ in London? |

The more variety, the merrier.

Tried listening to Quasar via the Listen Live links on their site and just get "error". Any ideas? They cite their online service as the model for the proposed AM one so presumably intend people to listen online.

I think the little players are flash based, Safari doesn't do flash.
