No DAB - yet. Though I wouldn't count it out for the future, initially the focus is on internet; podcasting will probably come next, to allow downloading to personal gadgets.

The thing with Britfolk is that it is not a single stream of music. The menu will contain (changing every week):
- A minimum 7 hours worth of Listen on Demand individual 30-minute programmes (specials, workshops etc) produced by folk music professionals such as the names I mentioned above, plus many more others.
- Up to 3 hours' worth of streaming music (non-interruptible, so a bit like a normal radio station) - the "Billboard". However, this programme is randomised, so that every time you click to listen you will get the three hours' worth in a different sequence!

And yes, you can listen to it while you do other things on the computer, as I am doing now.
