New petition calls for guaranteed Freeview TV and radio channel access through aerials for millions of older people
An online petition calling on the UK Government to “guarantee access to broadcast TV and aerial radio beyond 2040” has passed the 10,000 signature threshold and is due an official response. The petition argues that protecting Freeview will “prevent millions of older people and other vulnerable groups, at risk of loneliness and depression, from being excluded from public information and entertainment”.
The ‘Broadcast 2040+ campaign’ to safeguard digital terrestrial TV and radio launched last summer following new research by Ipsos which showed that nine in 10 people across Great Britain want to see continued support for these services.
