Day 1 of Roy & HG’s ‘Mardi Gras of Medals’ on Triple M has proved to be popular with Aussies, with the sporting icons already sitting at #1 on the Australian ITunes Podcast charts.
Last month, we posted an article by Australian expat and media researcher, John Patkin, now based in Hong Kong, who argued that AM/FM and DAB+ would become obsolete as internet or online delivery became ubiquitous.
You probably won't find a 3.5 mm audio socket in the next iPhone as Apple wants to slim down its revolutionary communicator.
It's another nail in the coffin for FM and DAB proponents that want smartphone manufacturers to 'activate' the radio tuning chip because delivery relies on headphone wires for aerials. There'll be some kind of connection for wired headphones, but it'll probably be proprietary and involve an adaptor for the 3.5 mm jack. The cost, convenience and privacy of wireless Bluetooth headphones is now and the future.
In what could prove to be a game changer for digital radio, LG Electronics has unveiled its new LG Stylus DAB+ device at Radiodays Europe 2016, in Paris.
