Time to listen to Bird Song Radio - A 'filler' radio station that played on DAB radio in the UK until this week has been pulled from the air, much to the chagrin of thousands of listeners. Reportedly, Terry Pratchett is a fan, saying "There's something about the sound of the outdoors that adds texture to a room. It cools the room down, makes you feel relaxed." The station, playing a 25 minute loop of birdsong recorded as a test pattern before the launch of Classic FM in 1992, has now been replaced by Amazing Radio, which " features songs from unsigned artists who have uploaded their music to website amazingtunes.com over the past four years. But it's okay! You can still listen to it online at Birdsong Radio.
