Since I last looked at this topic:
May 2021: The Official Irish DAB service closed. Since then two non-RTE stations have joined "Terrestrial Digital Radio", Radio Maria and UCB. RTE has a few extra Digital only stations. Terrestrial Digital Radio is still on DTT which has better coverage than Analogue TV had (which was on Band III in some areas as well as UHF, the last Band I 625 closed in 1999).
BBC has restarted some Shortwave AM World Service.
Five Live is still on MW due to lack of DAB coverage
R4 is still on LW due to lack of FM & DAB coverage.
DAB in UK is still less coverage than FM.
Satellite and Internet are complementary to Terrestrial Broadcast. FM and DAB only does local or main National. No use for International nor complete National coverage.
