I just can’t take the DAB figures seriously. I think a lot of people including me listen to DAB but these figures don’t correlate at all with what I’m listening to or what I hear in shops – apart from Coles of course. For example the main DAB only station i hear around town in Brisbane is Smooth. It’s on in shops all over the place but the ratings reported don’t show this.
Oh and come on, Edge Digital? Everybody knows these high figures are skewed by people listening on 96.1 FM across Sydney.
And yet in 2020 DAB is still not available on the Gold Coast or across Logan (combined population of 1 million).
Yes it’s a complete joke no DAB in places like the Gold Coast and Newcastle. ACMA is hopeless.
