It would depend upon how you were listening to the radio. Satellite, online and DAB all have inherent delays, along with all digital platforms as they encode the signal.
I suppose the best would be good old fashioned analogue radio.
All hypothetical of course, I doubt that many of us would be taking off our inner doors and making a den under the dining room table as the Government recommend if this was ever announced
It would be covered at least by BBC1, ITV & Radio 4 as the 2010 Broadcasting Act allows the Government to take over these frequencies.
In such an event, they would broadcast for one hour after the attack informing people what had happened and giving advice upon what to do.
Thereafter, this message would be repeated once an hour, with any updates, to try and conserve the remaining power that people still had, which is why no entertainment would be provided either.
They have now stated that Digital Switch Over has lessened the effectiveness of all the above!!!
