  • The DRM Trial
    Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Final Report April 2009 1 Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Trial Summary Introduction The BBC and its transmission provider, National Grid Wireless, have recently undertaken a trial of digital radio mondiale (DRM), a technology which allows digital broadcasting at frequencies lower than 30 MHz. The trial ran for a year from April 2007. The final report of the trial is made up of three separate documents: − this trial summary report, which provides some background and draws together the headline conclusions; − a final audience research report, which outlines the results of the research undertaken with an audience panel over the year1; and − a BBC R&D white paper, which provides the results and analysis of continuous unattended measuring and logging of the transmission2. Reflecting the way in which the trial was organised, each of these reports has been written by a different part of the team involved. The final audience research report has been written by the company employed to undertake the research – Leapfrog Research & Planning – with the assistance of BBC Marketing, Communications & Audiences. The technical note has been written by a member of the team who built the continuous logging network at BBC Research & Development and who was involved in developing the underlying DRM technology. 1 “Project Mayflower ‐ Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Trial: Final audience research summary report”, Daniel Amarasinghe (Leapfrog Planning & Research), Russell Chant (BBC MC&A); August 2008 2 BBC Research White Paper 174, “The Plymouth Digital Radio Mondiale (Drm) Trial: Long‐term Reception Results”, Andrew Murphy; February 2009 2 Background to the trial The digital radio mondiale (DRM) technology is an international standard which was designed to allow digital broadcasting at frequencies below 30 MHz, that is in the broadcasting bands which currently rely on AM transmission.

    Adult Social Care Recruitment Campaign 2018-2019 Fortnightly Update: 26th November 2018 Covered in this issue: An overview of the last fortnight - Pilot activity continues: What have we learnt? - DHSC and the Communications Agency visited Jewish Care - Basecamp relaunched - Strategy meeting to discuss pilot learnings (to date) and next phase - Campaign Advisory Board met - How you can help. We would be grateful if you could read and act on this section. Pilot Activity Continues Pilot activity continues until 27th November across paid advertising channels, testing a variety of creative messages. Coverage of the soft launch of the pilot campaign in: - Gloucestershire was secured on ITV West Country, BBC Radio Gloucestershire, and Heart Radio Gloucestershire. The Proud to Care Gloucestershire website received 3.4k unique visits. - Tyne & Wear was secured on ITV Tyne Tees, Metro Radio, The Chronicle, BBC Radio Newcastle. The campaign website www.everydayisdifferent.com received 3.9k unique website visits in three weeks. A trade press release on 31st October, which included a Ministerial quote, raised awareness of the campaign and urged providers to support it. This secured 9 pieces of trade press coverage reaching 261k readers. Pilots: what have we learnt for the next phase? - Case studies are key to best communicate the passions, benefits, and realities - Using staff and service users in advertising rather than actors will land more effectively - We need to continue to promote the variety of roles and breadth of tasks - An existing connection with ASC makes one more likely to consider a career in the sector. So, we aim to facilitate peer-to-peer advocacy.
