Wohnort's symbol for 'original-flavour' DAB

Broadcasting in the UK uses original-flavour DAB. While it was proposed that some new multiplexes would use DAB+ for downloadable podcasts, it is likely to be some time before mainstream broadcasting is able to switch to DAB+ because of the large number of original-flavour receivers already in use. Wohnort recommends, however, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable if you are likely to want to take it out of the country with you. Such a receiver should also be more future-proof than one which only receives DAB.

From Dawn Till Dusk

Many of ITV's most successful programmes were made in the Midlands and some of its most popular were made specifically for the region. Today, with the exception of news programmes, even regional television production has virtually ceased. John Pettinger writes about commercial television in the Midlands, with particular emphasis on Alpha Television, where he worked, the jointly-owned production centre of the two Midlands ITV companies during the 50s and 60s, ABC Television and ATV Network.
