Pop radio however is never happy unless their modulation levels are at

For me, the curio is the modulation level on BBC World Service, both on
DAB and on DTTV. This is well above that for, e.g. R4. I can appreciate
that an HF AM broadcast might benefit from squashing right up to full
mod, but I can't quite see the point here on DTTV and DAB... Makes me
wonder if they are just supplying DTTV/DAB with the same pre-compressed
feed that is sent for use for HF around the world.

Only time I really listen to WS is after R4 closes down, and on DAB it
sounds truly diabolical. I've heard better 8-bit digital. ;-)
