The future of radio may well be digital, but it won't survive on DAB

Sucker for the power to scroll

My main beef about DAB and DAB+ is that useless screen draws so much battery power it reduces listening time to a novelty. i have to run my devices on mains power or via motor vehicle where the power is generated via the alternator and it will be too bad if I have an all electric vehicle in years to come.

What a waste just to scroll the song details, and tell me repeatedly the same info the announcer has just done.

If many devices had the full image on the screen capability, intended for song and album covers, radio stations would push advertising at yo 24/7 with their show or music.
