This may have some news value around the world. Our public broadcaster YLE today announced that digital audio broadcasts (DAB/Eureka 141) will be closed down during 2005.
YLE has been broadcasting DAB-signals on VHF 212 MHz area since 1997. All major national networks + regional stations have been audible via DAB-transmitters in Southern Finland. Marketing of these new services has been a complete disaster during last 8 years. Less than 1000 DAB-receivers were sold. None of the commercial broadcasters have been using DAB.
