Is future bright for 4Digital?

If there is one complaint from media agencies about 4Digital Group, it is a lack of recent communication about its plans. Things started to go quiet around 4Digital when Digital One's majority shareholder, GCap, announced its plans to withdraw its 63% stake in Digital One in an effort to ward off a bid from Global Radio. Richard Jacobs, the head of radio at MediaCom, is sure it will be a boon to commercial digital radio. This feels like a worthwhile solution to a complex situation, which should enable the broadcasters involved to offer fresh, unique, well-targeted and engaging radio brands to a wide audience.
