Many will be pleased to hear that the Government are most likely to abandon the 2015 turn off date for all FM Radio transmissions and extend date to 2017.
Problems they are having is the fact that Independent Commercial Radio stations and owners are making no fast moves to switch,
Car Manufacturers won't be fitting as standard till 2013,
the biggest problem of course will be DAB coverage which is only 78% for the UK,
the current usage of DAB is very slated by the fact that many use Satellite systems to listen to radio,
currently only 31% of UK residents are using DAB by which ever means they listen to it.
Nothing wrong with a decent FM system IMHO,
and only being changed not for improvement in the sound, but to sell to other countries and users, France wants much of it!!
