Future of UK radio to be decided in 2020: here's how to get ready for what comes next – Which? News

Currently, 52 of radio listening is done digitally, according to radio analysis firm RAJAR. The digital share is dominated by DAB radios, followed by online and app listening and radio channels on digital TVs. The 50 threshold of digital listening - one of the tipping points for the government to start looking into a possible switchover - was reached last year. A radio with DAB means you won't lose any radio stations if and when your local DAB radio stations switch over to DAB. - www.which.co.uk

The new Freeview mobile app reflects demand for flexibility around linear – Digital TV Europe

Freeview's mobile app, responds to recent changes in viewer behaviour, recognising that viewers still see linear TV as their central viewing platform, but want the flexibility to watch VoD and continue enjoying their favourite shows on their mobile devices when they leave the house. Our work with Freeview has been focused on giving viewers a service on their mobile devices, that they would be familiar with from their Freeview Play connected TV. For example, we knew from research Freeview undertook and the subsequent brief provided to us that viewers are used to having a responsive Electronic Programme Guide on their connected TVs, so we ensured the app included a backwards EPG that automatically caches data to make the user experience as smooth and responsive as possible. - www.digitaltveurope.com
