Some interesting numbers from Rajar regarding the numbers listening to radio via the internet, digital tv, mobile phones, etc
http://www.rajar.co.uk/quarterlysummary/qstsvfiles/139/Q12007_DTV_Internet_DAB.pdf
22.5% listen via digital TV at least once a week
24.3% have listened to radio via the internet ever (13.4% do it at least once a week)
Only 19.5% have a DAB set at home
8% listen to radio via a mobile phone
27.3% own an MP3 player _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Well, the listening via Internet figures are bound to go up, as it's becoming radio on demand - I find it increasingly impossible to listen to most of R2's output live so the Listen Again feature is wonderful. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Shows the way for the future and not judt for R2 but for radio full stop.
Ther's stuff on Radio 4 that I can't get to listen to during the day so use the listen again feature - Count Arthur Strong's radio show for example - a brillian tcomic creation but on at 11.30 in the morning and not repeated!
So I need to use the listen again feature.
I've also used the listen again when I want to listen to a show I heard live and want to...er...listen again!!
I do listen to streaming radio, such as BFBS and R2 if I'm on computer at same time.
BFBS is on in background right now as I type this. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

I use listen again a lot and usually listen live online at work, so yes I think it's the way forward. |

I just wish the bit-rate would be higher and the quality would improve. Still, it is very useful to have when Chris Evans is on air. I can listen to other stuff. |

It certainly is helpful to be able to catch up with other shows when you don't like who's on at the moment. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”
