Will our normal radios and car radio still work after the digital change over for TVs ?
Your home and car radio will still work after the switchover to digital television. However, government recently released the Digital Britain report and is encouraging the take-up of digital radio in cars. Government would like to see a digital migration for radio by 2015. Traditionally, radio programmes are broadcast on different frequencies via FM and AM, and the radio has to be tuned into each frequency. This uses up a comparatively large amount of broadcasting spectrum for a relatively small number of stations, limiting listening choice. Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a digital radio broadcasting system that through the application of multiplexing and compression combines multiple audio streams onto a single broadcast.
