No switch over for FM is planned at all. They had talked about doing it roughly 4 years after the TV signals went off, which would make it (currently) 2016. I'm not sure they're ever going to switch it off TBH. It's one thing to switch to digital for TV, as the use of a set top box, while not ideal, is acceptable to most people. The same cannot be said for radio-only devices. It would render too many things with radio built-in as useless. My prediction is it's not going to happen for at least another 12 years.
