The BBC has hit the DAB airwaves with what they claim is the world's first DAB system using their Eureka -147 out -of -band technology. Calling it the dawn of the third age of radio," the service covers about 20 percent of Britain's population, with 60 percent expected to be covered by 1998. Some receivers are available now, but are so bulky that they have to be installed in the trunk of the car and cost around $3,150. Smaller ones should be readily available in 1997. STRIKE TWO FOR HOWARD IN CHICAGO. Howard Stern's mouth has gotten him booted off his second Chicago radio station in less than two years. Cox Broadcasting's WCKG, Elmwood Park, IL reportedly bought out the contract after GM Mike Disney became, according to Inside Radio, "philosophically uncomfortable with some of Howard's on -air content.' Recently, Stern wished competitor Evergreen Media GM Larry Wert would catch AIDS and spread it to his family. Infinity's own WJJD, Chicago will pick up Stern, immediately pushing morning drive team Ed Vrdolyak and Ty Wansley to afternoons -- knocking syndicated Don & Mike out of the picture.
