Silver Voices has launched a public petition calling on Government to commit to protecting terrestrial television delivered via aerial well into the 2040s. It speaks directly to concerns we have all been raising through the Broadcast 2040+ campaign about the risk of audiences being pushed towards internet only TV, particularly older people, those on lower incomes and communities with poor connectivity.
The timing is important. The BBC Charter Review consultation is now live and decisions about the future of public service broadcasting and universal access are starting to come into sharper focus. This petition is a practical way for audiences to show that broadcast TV still matters and that switching it off would have serious consequences for many viewers.
We’re delighted to share this new issue, filled with industry news, technical guidance, sector updates and expert insights from across the world of broadcast, connectivity and installation. In addition, we have our fantastic member benefits section within the publication. Whether you’re looking to keep pace with evolving technologies or stay informed on industry best practice, this edition offers plenty of valuable reading.

We regret to inform our members, and the wider industry, that the above batch of CAI-certified cable has failed a random audit. As a result, it is withdrawn from the CAI list of certified cables with immediate effect.
Effective from today’s date, 17 September 2025, this cable is no longer classified as CAI-certified and must not be installed in any application where CAI-certified cable is required, until further notice.
The Cable Certification Scheme lays down minimum standards for the technical performance of coaxial cable based on the specific requirements for satisfactory reception and network distribution of signals from terrestrial or satellite transmissions. There are currently 7 cable certifications.
