    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 164

    Firstly, I have to say thank you for all your kind words following last week’s show with Dan Mulhall. The interview with The London Ear was literally his last as Irish Ambassador to Great Britain. He left London this week to take up his new post as Irish Ambassador to the United States (Gulp!). I wish him all the best in Washington.

    This week, I’m actually back in Ireland to help two very dear friends celebrate their nupitals, so here’s an hour of music for you.

  • Thesis // The Roll Out of Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland

    Thesis // The Roll Out of Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland

    Thesis - Roll out of DAB in Ireland - nessymon

    Ok, I better give this its full title

    The Roll Out of Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland and Explorations into the Future Radio Landscape

    In 2012, I was finishing my degree in Dublin City University, a BSc in Multimedia. I decided to do a thesis on The Roll Out of Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland. At the initial presentation stage, I was told I needed to cut back, that I was trying to do a Phd in three months with this. So I ended up with what we have here.

    I really enjoyed researching this and chatting to everyone about digital radio in Ireland.

    Why put this online now?

    Over the past few weeks, people have asked me if they could read my thesis. You have two options for that. You could go to the library in Dublin City University and sit own and read my written book or, now, you could read it here.

    Although my thesis covers online radio, satellite radio and what most people consider digital radio, your little radio box that also has FM, it’s a shame that in the five years since I wrote this, that not a lot seems to have changed with DAB in Ireland. Even RTÉ 2XM, on which I present The London Ear, is still technically in a trial.

    I guess some of the interest has come since this article has appeared on RadioToday about the closure of dB Digital Broadcasting’s DAB multiplex.

    Topics covered in my Thesis

    • Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland
      • Digital Broadcasting from The Broadcaster’s View
      • DAB Formats
      • Regulation Issues
      • More Choice?
    • IP Based Radio
      • Irish Statistics
      • Audience Listening Habits
      • Broadcast Bandwidth Concerns
      • How Internet Audio Stream Providers Work
      • 4G Rollout in Ireland.
      • WiFi Radio Case Study: BuzzRadio.fm
    • Satellite Radio
    • Converging Platforms
      • Hybrid Radio
      • Smartphone App Development
      • Radio You Can See
    • Other Digital Possibilities
      • HD Radio
      • Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)
      • Alternative Radio Business
    • Future DAB/DAB+ Trials in Ireland

    Yes, I wrote this, but the physical book in property of Dublin City University. If you want to use anything from this, please contact me and DCU.

    Want me to do more?

    I really enjoyed researching this. I hope you enjoy reading it. I would love to have the opportunity to study this further. If anyone would like offer me grants to update or bring this to Phd level, please get in touch. I would be eternally grateful.
