More DAB stations to go

In another blow to digital radio in the UK, two more national DAB stations are set to disappear soon.

gCap Media are planning to close stations theJazz and Planet Rock. They've already disposed of one of their other national stations - Core. gCap has also today announced that as well as closing two national stations, they'll be selling their shares in Digital One, the providers of the national commercial radio DAB multiplex.

This is billed a cost-cutting excercise, as well as being due to the slow uptake of DAB in the UK.
