digital switchover and radio

We're due for our digital switchover in August and I was wondering if there is any chance it will improve the DAB radio signal, which is currently unavailable in our area.
Also, does anyone know if there are plans to make all radio broadcasts digital. jason.p (Sat 09:58 04/Jul/09)

denis567		(Sat 22:56 04/Jul/09) According to the 2009 edition of Radio Listeners Guide the migration to DAB only should not start until 50% of listening is via DAB-enabled devices. The government backed group who are considering this subject published an interim report in June 2008 stating that the target date for complete digital migration by 2020 seemed to be optimistic.
