ARLA/CLUSTER: A revolução em curso nos Radios e Smartphone

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Radio and the Smartphone revolution

The Times newspaper quotes the Controller of BBC Radio 1 as saying
“The era of studios, transmitters and radio sets is about to go [into
the past] for young audiences"

Ben Cooper is also quoted as saying "No young person now tunes across
a [radio] dial and bumps into Radio 1"

Ofcom had previously reported that radio listening is declining among
the young as they switch to listening online. This profound change
will inevitably have an impact on amateur radio.

Amateur training courses currently assume that newcomers understand
the basic idea of tuning a radio dial to receive different stations.
It is clear that for the younger generation, this is now an alien
concept, they will never have done such a thing in their entire life.
