March 2007 sees completion of the first year of broadcasting for online radio show, FrequencyCast. FrequencyCast is a UK-based technology radio show that’s distributed as a podcast. Listeners can catch the shows online, or download the podcasts to their portable MP3 players, to listen on the move. FrequencyCast takes a different approach to podcasting, as the show is driven entirely by feedback from the audience, and uses high production standards to differentiate itself from other shows. Recently, the show has featured: Virgin Media vs. Sky, BT Vision, Nintendo Wii, Voice-over-Internet, Freeview, the Top Up TV Anytime controversy and the Digital Switchover. The FrequencyCast audience continues to grow, and feedback from the audience is extremely positive. With new products such as Video on Demand, a new generation of smartphones, and an even more competitive broadband and digital TV market, FrequencyCast is in for a busy second year on air.

FrequencyCast focuses on digital TV and radio in the UK, as well as the latest in wireless gadgets. In recent shows, FrequencyCast has looked at a range of topics including:
