Read this: Date set for radio licence rollover briefing | RadioToday
Summary: These will be followed by a Parliamentary briefing on 25 November. Their rollovers will start to expire in the next few years from 2017, and there is currently no mechanism to enable these licences to be extended further. Instead radio stations would be subject to a wholesale re-licensing process. - radiotoday.co.uk

Does this mean that FM Broadcasting will be expired and only DAB available.
This will severely impact on Low Income and Pensioners who cannot afford to but these new Reception Devices which are far too expensive for most 'Ordinary People'

Ann: Not this again. Firstly, the proposed switch off date has been changed many times, and almost certainly it will be pushed into the future again.
Secondly, DAB radio's are not 'new Reception Devices' - they've been around for years. And since you can get a DAB radio in Currys for £16.99, you can be pretty 'ordinary' and buy one.
