Analogue radio switch-off nears

A switch-off date for analogue radio will be decided later this
year by Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell.

Ms Jowell said she would review digital radio take-up in a
foreword to a report due to be published by the industry's Digital
Radio Development Bureau.

She said she would be "considering how long it would be
appropriate for sound digital broadcasting services to be provided
in analogue form".

By the end of June, 600,000 digital radios had been sold in the
UK.

The decision to switch off analogue radio will mean about 100
million radios will become obsolete.
