...Then, if I actually tuned in to the broadcast, I'd be treated to a delightful presentation of musical genius by Eminem, whose enthusiastic brand of misogyny somehow hovered just beyond the censors' reach; or even worse, Celine Dion, who, as far as I can tell, is even more unhip than I am but has huge lungs with which to torture her fellow humans. I'd try, desperately, to understand why these people were up for awards, and then, defeated and dejected, I'd switch the television off and take up some less punishing task, like translating Ovid's entire...

...they're sure of its benefits. Luckily for the industry, digital radio's pluses are easily explained: clearer sound and more choice. Digitalization transforms sound into the binary codes of 1s and 0s, which can be transmitted as audio waves free from interference. The result is a CD-like broadcast unmarred by the hiss, static and drift that bedevil analog stations. And because digital uses little bandwidth, it allows for the transmission of many more channels. Niche stations already available in Britain range from all-film music to classic rock to One Word, a station that features audio books. Advertisers...
