«A long-term plan should be developed to move all radio services over to digital, an interim report recommends - and migration of most content could be completed by 2020. The Digital Radio Working Group (DRWG) believes that traditional radio business models will be unable indefinitely to support increased costs of broadcasting on both analogue and multiple digital platforms. The group recommended switching all national, regional and large local stations to Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), with FM continuing to be used by small local and community radio stations. Its initial assessment was that migration could be completed by 2020. (...)

I believe that radio must have a digital future if it is to remain relevant." » Fonte: Radio services 'must be digital', The Press Association, 24/06/08
