Actually, I'm sorry to see local radio services (or any services) being dropped but VM may see that these are available already via analogue FM or DAB and that the bandwidth can be better utilised for other purposes. The cost of carrying these services may not be seen as justifiable when compared with the perceived value that they provide. They may also be trying to simplify the process of merging the disparate ex-franchise platforms.

The only Radio Channel I like is Magic 105.4 and I cant get it my area - YET - I did buy my DAB Radio just for that channel (I did hear it on my old Sky Box before I got DAB).

I have BBC News Multiscreen now but the only additional radio station I've noticed is BBC Radio 4 LW and I don't recall if I had that before last week or not.

LIVING2 and LIVING2 +1 are now LIVINGit and LIVINGit +1 as predicted by Media Boy.

Just noticed that they have added a View From option on On Demand. When you select a programme to view, and the window with info comes up there is now this third option. You can put in say 1:11 and it will jump straight to it. Nice edition...particularly if you want to view a particular moment again :-)
