Too soon imo.

A lot of seniors will be disorientated. A lot of people still drive cars where it's the only choice.

[TF S4DK]

Swear they been saying death of FM for YEARS

[dub]

[Seth Rollins]

It will happen here too.

I think we'll see an overhaul of the DAB format before we see the AM or FM switchoff

[QPR Dee]

Thought this said Norwich at first

People need to start their own streaming stations.

 

The future will be online.

[dub]

Future is online, but I can't get a solid connection streaming from iPlayer Radio for the whole of a train journey on 4G (GiffGaff or EE). Plus you're rinsing your data. 

The potential for broadcast radio to deliver is still there until wifi connectivity is everywhere.

 

If phones had DAB receivers in them the format would blow up.

Haven't listened to fm radio since the 90's

[Thizz]
