BBC Radio Berkshire, BBC Radio Berkshire Options

Ever noticed how almost all of BBC Radio Berkshire's jingles often the same thing repeated, often slower the second time?

Is it because they think their listeners are stupid and won't understand it the first time?

Try Classic Fm , no jingles just good music with the "odd" , and I'm not joking either , advertisement .

Try Radio 3, more variety than Classic FM without the adverts and better quality on DAB.

Better music too - until the evenings when they overdo the jazz (not that many jazz fans will agree with me ). Not so sure about better quality on DAB though - UK DAB is overcompressed (which is why DAB+ is on the way), a good FM aerial and receiver will outdo any DAB set. Or are you saying that Classic FM's DAB is even more compressed than R3's?

For me Radio 3 is the shining example of what the licence fee is for - high quality broadcasting of minority interest material. The BBC spends far too much cash competing for audiences with commercial stations.
