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:

    The future is ever a misted landscape, no man foreknows it, but at
    cyclical turns
    There is a change felt in the rhythm of events:
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Our Last Will and Testament, providing for the only future of which we can be reasonably certain, namely our own death, shows that the Will’s need to will is no less strong than Reason’s need to think; in both instances the mind transcends its own natural limitations, either by asking unanswerable questions or by projecting itself into a future which, for the willing subject, will never be.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
