[Swprograms] Fwd: [uk-radio-listeners] DRM Chairman: Analogue can end when 50% of audience goes digital

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Add another pejorative term for fans of analog broadcasting to the
BBC's "opinion formers and decision makers":

We're now considered "valuable capital" by Pete Senger of the DRM consortium.

Has it crossed Mr. Senger's mind that if this proposal was implemented
the listeners he craves might do something else for their audio
entertainment, note he is not looking for financial assistance for
small broadcasters without the financial resources to convert to
digital, if there is enough frequency space for them, nice of him to
think of me as valuable capital though!

16th August 2006
Broadcasters attending the panel discussion during the ABU Digital
Radio Convention today were told that it was viable to shut off
analogue transmission when at least half of the audience had switched
to digital mode. Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Chairman, Peter Senger,
also said that consumers who could not afford digital receivers after
the switch-off date should be given some form of assistance. Mr
Senger, who spoke during the panel discussion on "What is the future
of digital radio?", said existing listeners were "valuable capital"
and must not be lost in the transition process.
