Digital Radio in UK

Posted by: Martin D on 09 October 2000

Does anyone out there, including naim, have any info on the demise or otherwise of analogue radio in the uk ? I have come across a s/h Nat02 but don't know what the future holds (who does for that matter !)I have read that analogue TV will end in a few years time.

The BBC have not (yet?) actually said or committed to a date when analogue radio will die.

Only c60% of the UK population can get digital radio (in area much less)the hardware is still very expensive.

I think the main reason they are keeping quiet is the shouting about analogue TV. I expect they have plans - and are just not telling us. I guess it depends on the relative cost of replacement vs what the Govmt could make on selling losts more bandwidth off in the future.
