Default Analogue radio (FM/AM) completely on the way out?


Hi Guys, you've been really helpful in the past with audio problems, can
you help me out with this one, please?

Am really flummoxed with all the media reports of the digital
change-over. Can anyone tell me if FM and AM radio are definitely going
to be killed, i.e. completely, when the "digital change-over" happens?

Here I am in 2008 needing to buy a NEW bedside radio, but we live in
South West Shropshire, on the Welsh border, and I understand that
there's no digital signal here . . . yet. And locals believe there
never will be. Can anyone tell me if the "digital change-over" is
definitely going to apply to radio as well as TV? (If so, it may mean
that the only way we'll be able to get radio in this remote rural
location will be via our satellite dish.)

Where we are the analogue TV signal is so weak, we have no alternative
but to have a satellite dish and watch freeview. So that's the TV side
sorted.

But will buying a new analogue radio (FM/AM) turn out, a year years down
the line, to have been a waste of money?

Thanks.

Eddy.
