Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat), on Tuesday, 9 February 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 25 members in total.

FUTURE OF LOCAL RADIO ON THE ANALOGUE SPECTRUM

That this House is concerned that the future of local analogue-based radio stations is being jeopardised by the absence of a clear Government strategy and confusion over what happens when digital switchover is complete; believes that popular local radio stations like Radio Jackie in south west London provide a valuable service which would be threatened by larger regional stations which will not provide radio services with a local focus; and calls on the Government to develop an alternative to digital switchover which allows local radio stations to continue broadcasting on the analogue spectrum.
