Save our Sound UK campaign launched
Over 20 organisations representing the British entertainment industry have joined together to launch the Save our Sound UK campaign, asking the Government to act to safeguard the future of any events which use radio microphones.
These events became threatened when Ofcom announced its plans to sell the ultra-high radio frequency channels 31-37 and 61-69 which will be cleared out by the digital switchover. After these channels have been auctioned off by the Government, they will become illegal to use.
The cost of replacing wireless equipment is estimated to be tens of millions of pounds, and thus far, Ofcom's proposed funding scheme is inadequate to cover these costs.
