Isn’t implementing digital radio an unnecessary expense to taxpayers?
Implementing digital radio will cost a fraction of the price of transferring from analogue TV to digital TV. Radio is an important part of British culture with over 90% of the population consuming more than one billion listening hours a week. Digital is much more efficient than FM and in an increasingly digital Britain, to remain relevant, radio must follow suit, offering more features and content whilst remaining a service that is free at the point of access for all listeners.
