Maybe it's because most of their listeners are on FM. The fact they've been on those frequencies so long negates the argument of no frequencies in London. Ofcom might as well license them.
Question is would they want to be?
The route to DAB is easier but how popular would that be?

It's a good question and no, not as far as I'm aware. Which is quite surprisingly actually come to think of it....

Good answers and I was in Central London 2 weeks ago and it does seem like they have almost been forgotten lightning radio was the one I was listening to and was like a real blast from the past and there is nothing like the presentation outside the capital and RJR who reminded me of JBC from the second half of the 80s and the 1987 raid that can be seen on YouTube
