Are radios affected by switchover?
After switchover AM and FM analogue radio signals will continue to be broadcast. At present there are no plans to stop this.  Going digital with an iDTV, set top box or digital TV recorder does however mean that you can receive many new digital radio stations through your TV.

Who do I complain to about switchover?
Complaints about switchover should be made via Ofcom, the regulating authority for telecommunications and broadcasting services. Here are their contact details
