I saw that item too. You can find detailed information on the demise of the present MP2-based DAB system, here:

Just because Bob Stuart doesn't believe the present DAB system will disappear doesn't provide a cast-iron guarantee that it won't.

However, I read somewhere that even one of the recently introduced BUSH DAB radios can be software upgradeable to receive the DAB+ system when it eventually arrives. Equally, I'm sure I saw some unconfirmed information recently that indicated that Meridian DAB products could be equally software upgraded to the new standard.

On a separate issue of interest - the BBC are apparently going to start trialling DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) on the Oxford transmitter in the near future. So, in addition to DAB, we may eventually hear FM-quality stations on MW.
