On DAB soon.
Great News.
[The long-rumoured launch will involve
the newspaper creating a station
with a
“daily schedule of news,
analysis and commentary
with a lineup of high-profile presenters”
broadcasting nationally on DAB radio,
online and via smart speakers,
such as Amazon’s Alexa.]
[Management told employees that
Times Radio would
“target those disenfranchised
by BBC Radio 4 and 5 Live”
and was expected to launch
in the spring featuring “great names
of broadcasting”, according to those
present at a staff meeting.]
[
Stig Abell, the channel’s
launch director, told the Guardian
he wanted to break free
of the standard radio debate
format where two individuals
with opposing views shout
at each other.
“We want to have different voices
with different opinions but we don’t
necessarily want that kind of format.”]
[Rather than have phone-ins,
the station’s programmes would
allow listeners to learn
“something you didn’t know before”,
with a focus on conversations
covering all aspects of news
and current affairs.
“We want people to tune in
because they’ll get what’s
going on in the world.”]
