BBC National DAB - Future

Future

The BBC planned to increase their coverage of their DAB multiplex to at least 92% of the population by adding 61 new transmitters to their existing coverage. BBC Asian Network was due to be axed in around 2011 after plans to close down the station were published and it also contained plans to close 6 Music. Since then 6 Music has been saved from closure after listening figures increased and a campaign was set up on Facebook which had 180,000 supporters.

With the publication of the Delivering Quality First paper, it was proposed that DAB Coverage would be increased to 97% in the near future.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    Captain Hank Quinlan: C’mon, read my future for me.
    Tanya: You haven’t got any.
    Captain Hank Quinlan: Hmmm. Whadya mean?
    Tanya: Your future is all used up.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    He will calmly front the morrow in the negligency of that trust which carries God with it, and so hath already the whole future in the bottom of the heart.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
