[cma-l] by the way

[Bill Best]

Hi Nick

There's little point in sending hearsay to the list without corroborating
your sources.

There are no plans for an FM switch-off and, in any case, there is
currently no business case for repurposing the spectrum.

But thank you for your email - I'm sure it will stir up some responses.

I'm sure that this subject might come up in the 'Small-Scale DAB' breakout
session led by Lawrie Hallett at the Community Media Conference on Saturday
12th September. If you have not got your tickets then there are only a
handful left which may be purchased online here:

Best regards
