The only place I use a DAB radio is in the Kitchen, this is the only place it will work. I also have 5 FM radios in cars and other rooms.
<div>I bought a DAB radio for the car, and what a piece of dysfunctional technology. It lasted about a month before going back to FM just did not work!</div>
<div>I can not see car manufacturers moving to DAB any time soon, they have only just stopped fitting cassettes for the lovely c90s that they chewed up.</div>

<div>Yes, and of the 45% who do have a DAB radio in the house, I wonder how many FM radios they also have, not just as conventional sets around the house, but in hi-fis, alarm clocks, phones, cars, even showers!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's quite interesting/entertaining to see the spin put on DAB at its launch around 20 years ago:</div>

Let’s compare some statistics from this speech:-</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
‘The BBC’s national DAB network now reaches 94% of homes.’</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
‘The commercial national DAB network (Digital One) coverage is now at 89%.’</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
All very positive until you read that:-</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
‘45% of people now live in homes with a DAB radio’</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
So 55% of people live in a home<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">without</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>a DAB radio. Anyone got any statistics about where people mostly listen to the radio?</div>
