It's generally driven by the older stations (not surprising when you look at DAB's demos. I'd also say the fact that your friends like it is because they're all radio geeks...

Not because I think it's a bad idea neccessarily, but because the fact that it's just content which is constantly on BBC Three anyway makes it a bit of a pointless exercise. My guess is that the project is really just a test, and so they're using content which they already have the rights to repeat a billion times anyway. Bandwidth on Sky is hardly a scarce resource though. An Audi channel for fuck's sake?? It will be interesting to see the relationship between the Beeb and the other TV networks over the TV file-sharing iMP... Oh and 6Music is great, if a bit niche, and everyone I know who listens to it, listens to it exclusively, hating all other radio stations. It's probably even the single motivating factor for quite a few people to buy DAB sets. I too was a bit suprised by the BBC Three service.
