On the general question of FM eventually being replaced by or DAB+ only transmitters why has apparently banned all new DAB+ stations from backing up their transmissions with local FM coverage?

Nicholas Anderson: hasn't banned anyone from being on FM, they simply stopped advertising new FM licences so that their spectrum licencing team can focus on advertising and awarding licences for small scale . Any that wanted to launch on FM had several years to apply for a community radio licence across several licencing rounds before small scale DAB licences were advertised.

Not sure what exactly you want to do, can you please be more explicit about what equipment changes (if any) that you want to make, what you've got and can keep because it's yours and not needed to be returned to .

Thought this worth mentioning as there could be consequences for recordings scheduled at or around this date and time:

The current Time Offset Table has "Time Of Change" from GMT to BST as "31/03/2024 00:00:00"

Other platforms show this as -

: "31/03/2024 01:00:00"

"31/03/2024 01:00:00"
