Fair point, Ralphie, but there is one issue I cannot agree with -

even if they've only got a tranny

Surely, everyone who has only got a tranny will not be able to listen to anything at all soon. As soon as the analogue signals go altogether its either listen to digital or listen to nothing. If that's the case we are not talking about a fight save anyone's favourite programme but a fight against the inevetibale switch.

Your dear departed Mum would not have been able to use the bakelte so, surely, as a favour to everyone in the same position, we need to help them get used to digital as sson as possible. As everyone now has digital (or very soon will) anyway then I don't see an issue.

I was not 'having a go' at your or anyone's fight btw. I was not even aware of anything happening in Derby and, as I said, Radio Manchester lost theirs years ago. No amount of protest stopped it. I am just trying to provide a better alternative that suits everyone.
