Has it even been scheduled? I didn't think there was a plan yet for FM
switchoff - unlike UHF TV, of course. Car radios are the problem -
they aren't as easily modded or replaced as TVs.

I certainly haven't heard of any plans to switch off FM. I can't see the
commercial stations accepting this until it can be proved that the digital
audience is far bigger than the analogue FM audience. I would guess the
analogue listener hours would have to be below 10% of the digital listener
hours before they would even consider it. They wouldn't tolerate even a
temporary drop in listener figures.
