		The slow revolution that is digital radio came to Leicester on the 6 December 2002, when Leicester’s local digital multiplex was switched on.
		This surprises me, as Sabras particularly benefits from it, being an AM station, so you would think they would promote it more, and as GWR seem to be very much behind digital radio, I am astounded that Leicester Sound have not (as far as I know) promoted DAB at all, apart from on their website.
		Century have had commercials for DAB receivers, but as they cover Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, I accept it would be difficult for them to promote DAB as you can only hear it on that platform in one of the cities it serves.
