(The Disco Palace, via dxld Feb 11) Andy Sennitt comments: I wish them well. However, a new RNW survey of over 1000 Dutch expats has revealed that nobody under the age of 35 listens to RNW on shortwave, which was hardly a surprise to me. Only a handful of shortwave listeners (literally a few hundred) have DRM receivers, so it isn't clear who this service is intended for. And since the broadcasts are in the local afternoons, I would imagine that any potential listeners are likely to be at work or school. Or am I missing something? (Febr 10th, by Andy Sennitt-HOL, RNW MN blog via dxld Feb 11) 2 Comments on "The Disco Palace launches broadcasts in DRM" #1 ruud on Feb 10th I am in line with your comment Andy. Also nobody will try and find a station that only provides music for a couple of hours with many alternatives doing 24/7. SW is for 35 + and what do they expect from SW additional to their local content. Good unbiased News, and music that is not or limited available on other platforms. Examples: Oldies 60-80, Jazz/Oldies 40-50, Salsa, "Bollywood". Dynamic and catchy. With personlaity presenters. And more News then just 1 minute 30 sec bulletins. So current affairs for say 15 min at certain times of the day. Platforms SW and Internet, Satellite. The production of these formats is rather cheap, and can be done by major broadcasters, most of them already have a newsroom, so this comes at no extra costs. #2 Kai Ludwig on Feb 10th I guess the potential audiences for such a format rarely go still to school ... What are the other businesses of the company that runs this project, Alyx & Yeyi? Their website says that "we count with more than 12 years working as a service provider of worldwide radio broadcasting in Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East and North America. Alyx & Yeyi owns the required technical infrastructure in order to provide broadcasting service to Latin America and the Caribbean Region ...". And, if you allow me to make no secret of this circumstance, what I read between the lines of this press release is despair: (RNW MN blog comments via dxld) 17750-17755-17760 is surely via Guiana French, tho not stated, as if no one would care. If they are such a big player in IBC, how come we have never heard of Alyx & Yeyi? (gh, dxld Feb 11) GERMANY Neustart DAB+ in Deutschland bis 2015. Prospekt von Media Broadcast.
