"The Future of Radio"

“Transformation for survival isn’t a choice, but a must”. These were the words of Youngbum Choi, Director of Policy Making & External Relations at SBS, Korea’s only private nationwide terrestrial TV and Radio broadcaster, to members of a recent DTI Global Watch Mission to Korea and Singapore.

This free seminar will report on the mission’s findings. The mission visited broadcasters, technology companies, trade bodies and regulators to understand latest developments in digital and traditional radio broadcasting and explore the potential for international commercial collaborations. For more information about the mission, please see www.future-of-radio.co.uk.

At the event, you will hear about the impact of digital technologies - in particular DAB and DMB - and their potential for the UK broadcast and mobile industries from members of the mission team as well as Korean guest speakers. Insights into plans, new services, business models and consumer behaviour from Korea and Singapore will be highlighted and their relevance to the UK discussed.
