DAB listening figures 'overestimated'

Wednesday's edition of BBC Radio 4's Today programme has responded to the surprising DAB listenership numbers claimed on Monday's programme.

The Today programme's website says:
"On Monday's programme, Ford Ennals, the Chief Executive of Digital Radio UK, the body charged with overseeing switchover from analogue to digital radio, claimed that 40% of listeners were currently tuning-in on DAB.

"Many listeners got in touch to question whether that can really be true. Our reporter Tom Bateman has been crunching the numbers."
