BBC Digital Medium Wave - Your questions answered

In conjunction with the BBC Radio Devon Medium Wave Digital Radio trials the BBC has published a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ') page about Digital Radio.

Among the questions are

• What is Digital Radio Mondiale?
• Do I need to buy a new radio to listen to digital medium-wave?
• When will the BBC make other services available on digital medium-wave?
• How can I take part in the trial?
• Where can I find out more about DRM?

What is noteable is that the BBC are starting to shy away from the term DRM. This more commonly stands for Digital Rights Management so can cause confusion when it's used to mean Digital Radio as well.

The BBC say they are going to refer to the technology as 'digital medium-wave'.
