At 12th Apr 2011, Andrew Bowden wrote:Hi Sue - we've had to remove the channel hopper from the radio station services for rather complicated technical reasons relating to the forthcoming launch of 主播大秀 Alba in Scotland which would prevent it from doing the job properly.
As rebuilding it to cope with 主播大秀 Alba wouldn't be particularly straightforward, and it duplicated functionality found in most electronic programme guides, we took the decision to retire it.
