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:
“You have too much of a life yet before you, and have shown too much of promise as an officer, for your future to be lightly surrendered.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“Dark times is what they call it in Norway when the sun remains below the horizon all day long: the temperature falls slowly but surely at such times.A nice metaphor for all those thinkers for whom the sun of mankinds future has temporarily disappeared.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“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)
