    I just posted about the shocking quality of spoken radio on DAB on another group, but have noticed that some of the stations that also have fm or am outlets, increasingly are sounding just as bad, and wondered if the problem was grotty studio output or maybe they are using dab as the distribution medium? The internet feeds for talk based radio do seem pretty low, so its hard to say where the issue starts from. I would say that I'm not alone in finding stations with gritty sounding speech fatiguing to actually listen to for more than a few minutes, and wondered if it actually does upset
    something in the brain that causes this?

    Amy particular stations Brian?, I do note that such as BBC radio 4 and
    the world service do use dodgy Internet connections for interviews and contributions do you mean that as such?..

    Talk Radio is one case in point, indeed the same naff sound is on the talk
    TV outlet as well. Many of the minority groups stations sound like that to
    me. I've lost track of them all since there are so many. Premier radio when they have their bible bashing preacher on. Maybe its me but that station
    seems to be living in some alternate universe to the rest of us, and can be quit hilarious due to their naivety, but that is a whole other discussion.
