RTE Digital.

RTE's new Digital stations officially come online Monday. They are 2XM, Choice, Chill, Gold and Junior.

It's a pity that neither All80s or Mocha will continue on the platform. I heard the man behind those two stations, Dusty Rhodes, speaking yesterday on RTE Radio 1's Morning Ireland discussing the future of Digital Radio in Ireland. Dusty is passionate about the future of the platform here and I can only agree with what he says (well, the bits that I understand anyway)!

His latest Blog entry talks about how commercial stations are still waiting on legislation allowing them to continue on DAB. It's an interesting read:
