2015 digital radiodate 'far too early'

The 2015 target date for the digital radio switchover is "far too early" according to a report by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Last year’s Digital Britain white paper said the switchover should come two years after listening to radio via digital platforms accounts for 50 per cent of radio listening. The new report recommends a switchover should wait until no more than 30 per cent remain on analogue.
