On Demand The Second Phase Of Digital-Radio


Digital Radio.

The second phase of digital and its effect on the Radio as we know it have and will continue to be huge, all media – sound, picture, text – available on all devices, all the time. Searchable, movable, share-able. The BBC claim to be less than 5 years away from a drag & drop Tv and Radio Systems where listeners will be able to pull anything down from any of tonight's schedules, select anything from our archive, let us propose a channel based on your previous choices, or make your own channel and share it with your friends. Then hit play. That's it. They are also hoping to take the Interactive Red Button Scheme a step further, More radical interaction, content generation and the pooling and sharing of that content across communities are all fundamental parts.
