Created the page. I have copied the section "Overview" verbatim from
Digital One as I agree with the talk page of the "Digital One" article that the Birdsong channel should have its own article.
Next step will be to transclude the overview section from this page onto Digital One - leaving that page effectively unchanged, but this article should become the source of the "Birdsong" section.

The transclusion was done earlier. Whilst this article can undoubtedly be expanded and improved upon and it is still pretty-much "Start-Class", I think enough has now been done on it in order to justify removing the {underconstruction} tag (which I have just done).

Possible Copyright Violation?
The Overview section (which I moved here from
Digital One) may be a copyright violation from the following web page:-
http://www.astra2d.com/dab.htm (Birdsong section near bottom). It appears to be a verbatim copy'n'paste from that website. I think to be safe, we'll have to re-write the paragraph.

OK, Thanks for the reply. I apologise, I obviously got that the wrong way round! I wrongly thought that the paragraph may have been put there as part of the birdsongradio.com spamlinks campaign. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia, so still finding my bearings. I'm glad that you clarified that you wrote this yourself. That's great - no problems here then. (Glad we can keep it as is). I think I recognise your username from Digital Spy. I used to post there regularly a while back as user "digispec", but been very busy the last couple of years. I should really update my user page here though.

Just to verify this (and for evidence), take an edit by myself from
May 12 2007 and a snapshot from the
Internet Archive of their webpage from
August 25, 2007 compared to
now. Clearly shows that my edits from the Digital radio in the United Kingdom and ultimately Wikipedia were added to their website (under the DAB Frequency Plan title), and that I am the original creator of that information which has since appeared on their website, which doesn't comply with the
GFDL. May be worth
raising this further. P.S. I am the same person who you are thinking of on Digital Spy. --

Indeed, that completely makes the issue indisputable. Clearly they have used your work without acknowledging it. Totally agree with you that this should be raised with the webmasters of that site at some point. Not only does the GFDL need to be complied with, but also it would avoid these unnecessary questions of original authorship being casually raised in the first place.

Birdsong (digital radio channel). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
