My New Favourite Blog
I’m loving the fact that the President of Iran, the easily-roll-off-the-tongue-able Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has got his own blog. He’s followed a similar technique to me with his URL: www.ahmadinejad.ir. I guess, he probably doesn’t have too much trouble getting the domain he wants from the Iranian network registrar… What’s brilliant about his blog is that [...]
Freeview HD
It’s interesting times for digital platforms at the moment. Both DAB Digital Radio and DTT (Freeview) have enjoyed much success with lots of boxes out there and lots of happy viewers and listeners.

This is funny.
Google AdSense for Audio Coming to the UK

For those of you that don’t know, this is their system that will sell and traffic radio stations from Google’s bank of advertisers (and stemmed from their purchase of dMarc a couple of years ago). They’ve mainly been [...]
Barcelona for NAB
Me and Greg, and a big chunk of the radio industry have all disappeared off to Barceona for the NAB Europe conference. We arrived here a few days early for some meetings and a bit of sightseeing. I’ve never been to Barcelona before, but it’s a great City and best of all, it’s still warm! [...]
