Exeter, Mid and East Devon’s commercial radio station 107.3FM Radio Exe is joining a coalition of radio groups to protest about the government’s plans to enforce a switchover from FM to DAB digital radio for the majority of radio stations in the UK. Unlike TV switchover, radio switchover does not form part of an internationally coordinated programme and will not unlock a taxpayer dividend from the sale of released spectrum.

Almost five years on from turning ailing Exeter FM into a successful new station, Radio Exe, Exe Broadcasting’s acquisition of London-based Devon Radio Ltd’s 40 per cent stake means that for the first time in more than 20 years when Lantern FM in Barnstaple was acquired by Orchard Media (and before that when DevonAir Radio was acquired by Capital Radio in 1987), Devon has a commercial radio station wholly owned by...
