Login and registration problems

Fri, 10 Jul 2015 08:34:20 +0000

I've been having some login problems using Chrome browser Version 43.0.2357.130 m for the last week or possibly longer (on more than one computer).

Symptoms:
Using MediaUK login, it accepts the credentials, says I'm logged in and returns me to the article - but there is no add comments functionality. Also it does not show login name at top right of screen.

Using Google login (when already logged in to Gmail) a blank window appears, something happens and it returns to the article, again with no comments functionality and no name at top right of screen.

Doing same in IE11 it works fine.

Is Radio 1 Eleven Times Better than Commercial radio?

In another post there has been a bit of discussion on FM switch-off in which I found myself asserting how much FM resources that BBC Local stations to use. I thought it was high time that I come up with some facts and figures on FM resource consumption in the UK, and this article takes us through it.

You can see that the different services consume vastly different amounts of FM spectrum to serve each listener. I don't attempt to pass comment on the cost-benefit ratio of each listener on each service though (but Ofcom probably should because it's in their remit to do so).
