DAB radio traffic announcements

I have a 2013 BMW 328i with a DAB/FM radio. In FM mode I can receive traffic announcements without any difficulty. However I don't receive them in DAB mode. I've queried this with my local service centre and they don't seem able to provide a solution. Is this a common problem and if so do you have any idea how to solve it please?

No solution. DAB doesn't allow for interruptions to a national station from a local station. Kind of forces you to listen to Radio 2 on DAB.
