Radio Exe joins opposition to government enforced switchover

Radio Exe is joining a coalition of radio groups to protest about the government's plans to enforce a switchover from FM to DAB digital radio for the majority of radio station in the UK.

If it does go ahead, residents across Mid Devon could find themselves unable to hear many radio stations on their existing receivers.

Ofcom recently stated there are 101-117 million radio sets in the UK market but only 15-19 per cent are digital.

Switching to DAB would also mean higher transmission costs for radio stations.
