 On 16 June 2009 the final Digital Britain report concluded that a switchover of all national and local FM services which currently broadcast on DAB multiplexes would take place in 2015 and that DAB would be chosen to take the UK to and beyond switchover. The Digital Economy Act 2010 has a requirement stating that the United Kingdom must prepare for digital switchover. To aid the transition to digital radio, Digital Radio UK started a Radio Amnesty during May and June 2010 where people could trade in an old AM / FM analogue radio for a 10-20 % discount on a new DAB digital radio from participating retailers. Analogue sets which can be reconditioned will be sent to southern Africa.
