Commercial stations "on digital"

craoltoir · 2011-08-08 07:31:34

What do the commercial stations mean when they claim, in their jingles, that they are "on digital"? The only stations on DAB are RTÉ stations (apart from the DAB trial in the southeast which had commercial stations). Are they claiming they are on digital because they are available on-line or on UPC?

Well I thinks its q102 or maybe 98fm have a jingle leading up to news saying 'on digital,on fm and around the world on line' , so perhaps they just never changed it from the dab experiement days.

They more-than-likely mean that they're available on the Sky or UPC "*digital* terrestrial television" platforms. That would, for example, be why Phantom 105.2 and Classic Hits 4FM say it.
