Up here in Scotland, there is no BBC local radio in the true sense, but have community opt out service areas from the regional BBC Radio Scotland network. Community opt out services per day have a modest duration time, ranging between 30 minutes in some areas to around two hours, especially in Orkney and Shetland.
Assuming 4G reception black spots will subsequently benefit from additional infill relay masts, especially in rural Scotland, podcasting these community services on BBC Sounds may be the future!
Who knows? The recent successful Orkney project of 5G Broadcast of BBC radio services, may supersede DAB radio multiplexes as a mainstream delivery platform by the end of this decade!
