Santa stream goes live on DAB
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 10 December 2009
Want a constant stream of noise apparently coming from Santa’s workshop as he prepares for his big present-dishing-out night? Well, you’re in luck. Radio Lapland has launched on a number of DAB radio networks around the UK, and is also streaming online, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the birdsong channel, the constant stream of birdsong that played out on the DAB network for months and was apparently quite popular.
Personally, I find the noises coming from Santa’s workshop a bit disturbing, but in case you’re concerned about any invasion of Team Santa’s privacy here, the people behind the stream issued the following statement from the man himself: “Children across the UK will love tuning in to hear the sound of Lapland as I prepare for Christmas Day. The great thing about digital radio is that it makes a superb Christmas present for friends and family and provides a brilliant choice of radio stations all year round”.
Hmm, is it just me or does it sound like Santa’s getting a bit of a back hander from the people behind digital audio broadcasting there? Still, times are hard for all I guess.
