And yet more posts from stations with 2 DJs desperately grabbing anyone they can! Does it give net radio a bad name with so many stations appearing and then 3 months later going again?
TBH no more than than what is going on with mainstream terrestrial radio stations in both UK and NL. Especially in NL as there are many more smaller stations and it is easier to get a license they seem to be going bankrupt/merging/changing their formats/presenters all the time.
For specialist EDM genres, and local/community broadcasting if anything net radio surpasses what you can get on Band II. (there are technical limitations to the audio quality on Band II FM - a good 192k or 320k stream is way better sounding). And the way DAB is used in my country (UK) is just rubbish. 80kbps mono for "music" stations
As a comparison, this weekend the weather caused much tropo in the UK, this makes the cool air above the hot air below become a big curved mirror to VHF radio signals that would otherwise go up into space.
So I could listen to the Dutch youth orientated station Radio 538 from their Zeeland area transmitter on 102.7 MHz.
I thought the presentation was very slick, but they have 2 min long ad breaks and as many auto playout tracks as any online stations and not that many live presented shows. To be fair the ones they did have were good for listener interaction and for me even the ads weren't an annoyance, more another free Dutch lesson, but the music selection was very much commercial pop dance that you could hear on any similar station across Europe. I was expecting a few more tracks from AVB and Ferry Corsten too!
TBH I thought Female81's online station was much better and did not have all the ads, and that is one young woman competing with the whole resources of Hilversum..
PS: Did you buy the Audix?
