Analogue radio is not currently under threat. Ofcom haven't even

Wow! Thanks, Don. That's one hell of a relief !

OK, so here on the border it may be 20 years till digital radios are
worth possessing, but there's enough stations on FM & AM to keep ME
happy.

I read the news all the time, and obviously I listen to the radio a
great deal, and, you know, the government and/or the media have failed,
I think, to make it plain to people that it's only analogue TV that will
be switching off in . . . is it 2012?

Thanks so much for the assurance.

Now it's full steam ahead for that flash Sony ICF-CD855L I saw at Comet
this afternoon!
