Radio Centre report suggests 2015 for analogue turnoff - as featured in CMU

 

A document leaked to the Media Guardian suggests that analogue radio signals could start to be turned off in the UK as early as 2010, considerably earlier than previous estimations which have sometimes suggested such a move wouldn't be possible until 2030.
