UK Government committed to switch off analogue radioThe newspaper the Daily Telegraph reports that the UK Government is committed to switch off analogue radio. They report: “Digital radio is the future of radio,” UK Culture Minister Ed Vaizey told Jeremy Vine at the Radio Festival in Manchester. He added that it would be "perverse" not to help drive the radio industry and consumers towards achieving digital switchover, as the Government had a duty to “get people in the right place, which includes technical specifications”. Two factors have to be in place by the end of 2013 for digital radio switchover to be achieved by the end of 2015: over 50 per cent of listeners must be listening to radio digitally, and DAB coverage across the UK needs to be comparable to FM, which will cost in the range of £150 million.
