Are DAB radio sets still needed?

59

Digital listening continues to grow, but DAB radios are not following the same trend. With the rise of smart speakers, do we still need a separate radio set?

Your views: FM switch-off threat

90
Tuning in

On the back of the news that Norway had started to switch off its FM signal in favour of DAB, we asked you if you thought the UK was ready to do the same. (more on FM switch-off threat…)

Is the UK ready to switch off FM radio for good?

547

Last week, Norway became the first country in the world to start switching off FM radio signal, going digital only. Is the UK ready to follow suit? (more on FM radio switch-off…)

Should all smartphones come with radio built-in?

41

Radio’s been around since the 19th century. It’s a relatively simple technology and yet FM tuners aren’t built into all smartphones. Yes, there are radio apps, but with data caps, should all phones have built-in radio?

Your view: do LED light bulbs interfere with radios?

Multi-coloured leds

When we looked into the unusual issue of LED light bulbs interfering with DAB radios, we found that the stories were true. So we asked you to share your experiences so we could see how many of you were affected.

The energy-saving LED bulb that switched off the radio

We get sent some weird and wonderful tales of products going wrong, but one story piqued our interest so much that we just had to send it to the lab to test it out. Can you help us shed more light on the mystery?

The touchscreen takeover – do you miss buttons and dials?

7

Touchscreens have been a boon for smartphones and tablets, but on cameras, radios and printers I’m left longing for a dial revival. When buttons do the job better, why don’t manufacturers just provide them?

Let’s not be forced into a DAB radio switchover

52
Woman listening to radio

FM doesn’t have room for new radio stations and transmitting on both DAB and FM costs broadcasters more. Fine, but this isn’t reason enough for us to fork out hundreds of pounds to replace all our FM sets.

DAB radio – can you afford the switchover?

65
Old-fashioned radio

As far as radio goes, we have the best of both worlds at the moment – digital and analogue. But the more we listen to DAB, the closer we get to losing FM. If you can’t afford to switch, will you be left in radio silence?

DAB radio in cars – high time it was standard

38
Music equaliser

The switchover to digital radio is fast approaching, so it’s essential the government and carmakers act now to avoid DAB becoming an expensive headache for car owners in the future.

Is DAB really the future of radio?

54
Audiowave

DAB radio is coming. It’s been coming for years and it’s still not here for everyone. It’s not in every room in every home and it’s in very few cars. So do we really want it?
