face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>All radio sales are down.
DAB sales are down, FM sales are down. DAB sales are down less than FM sales.
But all radio sales are down.<br>
<br>
Sales of other digital devices have increased. But they aren't "digital
listening devices", they're digital devices. Mostly they aren't used for
listening. Indeed, my research indicates that an *active* user of a radio
smartphone app uses it for about 30 minutes a week; yet an active listener of
radio listens in total to about 21 hours or so.<br>
<br>
Reach is stable for all adults, and down by about 4% for the 15-24 age group
over the past ten years. Over the same ten year period, listening hours are
down 9% overall; and for 15-24s, radio listening hours are down by 27%. So, one
in four hours have disappeared from that age group. Yet, total *audio*
listening is up (at least over the last few years); and the rate of decline in
younger audience hours is slowing.<br>
<br>
Most cars don't have DAB in them. The typical life of a car in the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> is 7 years
on the road, so if we are only now seeing DAB installed in most of the new
cars, we'll still have to wait seven years before that filters down to meaning
"most cars have DAB in them". If you wanted something new - DRM+,
let's say - it takes around 3 years to get that designed and installed, and a further
seven years for it to achieve any kind of penetration. So if, as the original
post here suggests, DRM+ is used for community radio, we're looking at a ten or
fifteen year wait before it's in cars. This is what I mean by understanding the
market.<br>
<br>
I talk a lot about the future of radio. I don't believe that music-intensive
radio ("ten great songs in a row") has a great future. On whatever
platform.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps move the argument away from one little platform and concentrate
on the bigger picture.<br>

was really not my intention, but these figures are very confusing - I quote
from an article of yours James: <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><i><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-style:italic'>Around
1.7 million digital radio sets were sold in the year to the end of June 2014,
making up over a third (36.2%) of all radio sets sold. </span></font></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><font

Doesn't that mean over two thirds of Radio sets sold were Not DAB, therefore
FM? And, although a lot of new cars are coming out with DAB (and FM)
radios, by far the vast majority of cars CURRENTLY on the road do NOT have
DAB. Considering the length of time DAB has been around, it doesn't look
all that promising.<br>
<br>
But I must take you to task for suggesting that I (and people like me) 'seek to
denigrate the whole platform'. This is just not true. I have been a fan - and
have followed the progress of DAB for many years, just waiting for it to take
off - but it hasn't - because, quite honestly it isn't very good, in many parts
of the country. <br>
<br>
So, please let's not have a duel about this, we are on the same side. I would
love to have a fabulous new-technology platform on which to broadcast, packed
with listeners. Trouble is, for many of the reasons discussed here, we haven't,
and it divides us. instead of uniting the enthusiastic, dedicated and talented
people in Community and Commercial radio broadcasting.<br>
<br>
We should, I repeat, be making good radio, because we can - and promoting it as
such to our audience, many of whom couldn't care less if it's DAB, FM or even
AM!<br>
