All methods of delivery are, or will be very shortly, processed
during the day.

Can you say what your source for the above is? Perhaps give a
reference to it? So far, my experience is that R3 DAB/DTTV tends not
to be level compressed during the day in the same way as R3 FM.


Before I retired, I was the guy selling Orban in the UK. That's where
the information comes from, my dealings with the Corporation on
supplying processing for the new London Control Room.

That tells me that you sold them equipment. However it does not say who
told you this was their policy wrt R3 DAB/DTTV, nor why, nor if their
statement was authoratitive. Hence I can't tell if they may be installing
the equipment for other reasons and will not be level compressing DAB/DTTV
R3. Can you say who told you about DAB/DTTV R3, and what they said? (If you
do not want to give their name in public, please email me if you want it to
be 'in confidence'.)

Processing is a hot subject within all radio broadcasters, BBC and
commercial. They guard their processor settings jealously, and are most
reluctant ever to talk about it publicly.

I can appreciate that as a general rule. However for R3 one of their
'selling points' should be the *lack* of level compression. Hence I'd
expect them to be willing to state this.

That said, I know that getting any info from anyone at the BBC is a
nightmare. :-)

Slainte,
