ARLA/CLUSTER: Hoje em dia parece que as pessoas já se esqueceram como se sintoniza um radio

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Tuning in a radio station is a dying art

The BBC's David Sillito asked people to tune a radio set to BBC Radio
1, but does anyone know how to tune a radio these days?

While people growing up in the last century would have been familiar
with using a radio set and tuning in a station, it's not something
that's done much in the modern world.

For the new generation born in this century, music is streamed via the
internet to one of their devices. They have no need for radio sets and
Ofcom statistics confirm a slump in radio set ownership among young
people.

These days radio amateurs talking to the general public about "tuning
in a station" may well get blank faces as people will have no idea
what they are talking about.

It is quite possible the only radio set young people will have
encountered in their lifetime will be the one embedded as part of the
entertainment console in their mother's car, not to be touched. The
radio will have already been preset by the car dealer and is unlikely
to ever be reset.
