The digital television switchover will not affect radio broadcasts. It will only affect television broadcasts in your area.

That is why it is called the digital "television" switchover - the clue is in the name...

the best portion of the television switchover is going on next april.. anybody would be re-tuning their digital recievers for one (with somewhat of fulfillment) very final time. there's a (stupid) suggestion a radio switchover... that should no longer probable to happen, it fairly is going to be no longer on time and in the back of schedule. The 405 line turnoff replaced into no longer on time for some years (and there have been many plenty much less television instruments than radio instruments). in case you think of that the 1st public is approximately to re-purchase 10's of radios around the domicile/motor vehicle and someplace else, fairly those already in mixed tape-radio, CD-radio and diverse sound systems going back to the 1950's and earlier.. think of back. human beings will in simple terms no longer pay attention ! Oh, and digitial radio presently in simple terms does no longer disguise many peoples properties .. so with or without sparkling digital radio, it does no longer help ! do no longer undertaking approximately digital radio, it is not occurring, there might prefer to be outrage from this way of huge quantity of people as right now because of the fact it have been given close. it is likewise poorer extreme high quality than cutting-element FM it is likewise an previous well-known, no longer genuine suitable with the digital radio provider that some thing of the international has chosen. do you like a radio which you isn't waiting to guard trip with you as quickly as you bypass in a distant places usa ?

I live in the north west of England, in the Granada TV region. We switched to digital some time ago, and all our radios still work fine. We have am/fm and DAB radios and the switchover has not stopped them working. The switchover only affects TV's; you can carry on listening to your car radio, home radio, etc, as you are now.

The switchover is only affecting TV signals just now. Radio switchover was supposed to be 2015 but has been pushed back to 2017
