Indeed I mentioned that. The point is that when FM is cancelled, DAB listeners will still experience analog artifacts while at the same time having the other disadvantages of DAB (e.g. slow decoding when channel surfing, no sound at all on degraded but otherwise acceptable signals).
Hopefully whoever goes to bat for preserving FM will find this thread when building their case.
I’m not sure what the bubbling mud is.. I guess I have not experienced that.
