The digital radio handheld market will change the way radio operates within three years and may bring subscription radio stations within five, said industry chiefs last week. Electronic programme guides (EPGs) similar to Sky+ will be available on handheld devices within 12 months and will open up new ways for radio bosses to generate alternative revenue streams. Subscription radio stations, like the satellite channels that are taking off in the US, will not be embraced immediately in the UK, according to Ralph Bernard, executive chairman of GCap Media.
