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:

    “Bobby read his future in women; his girls were omens, changes in the weather, and he’d sit all night in the Gentleman Loser waiting for the season to lay a new face down in front of him like a card.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
    —Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)

    “Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
    Men manufacture both machine and soul,
    And use what they imperfectly control
    To dare a future from the taken routes.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
