[HCDX] Call for 2015 End to Analog Radio in UK

[sakthi vel <ardicdxclub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to an article in the Sunday Telegraph
newspaper, commercial radio companies in the United
Kingdom are looking to set a firm end date for analog
radio. 
The industry body RadioCentre was expected to approach
the British broadcast regulator, Ofcom, about setting
a shutoff date for analog radio that could be as early
as 2015. 

An analog shutdown would mirror the transition path
being followed by the television industry, which will
see an end to terrestrial analog broadcasting in 2012.


There is a concern, according to the Telegraph report,
that only a firm analog shutoff date will ensure
continued investment and development of digital radio,
although there are political concerns about making
millions of analog receivers obsolete.
