It may be found here.

"The share of listening to DAB has increased by 1% to 24.1% of all listening.
26 million adults have access to a DAB receiver.

The DAB listening figures would leap if the reception reach was a genuine 100%. Why is it SO difficult to move this forward quickly?

And another thing-if the bogus 90% figure for DAB keeps confidently being issued--then lets have the far more important ultra statistic of just how many listeners (yes-real human people) who have bought DAB radios and sit there all day twiddling the dial and seeing "Station not found"".
