Radio 2's time pips.?

Question

When we are all forced to go digital, what will happen to the pips? I've asked the BBC, they have no answer.

Answer 1

Why is there a problem with the pips?  Surely the time won't change just because the signal does, so why should they have to use a different way of signalling the time?

Answer 2

They'll put them on digital servers.  Then they'll get pipped out to whoever wants them.

Answer 3

The pips are nothing to do with the digital switchover. The pips come from Rugby and will continue to do so after 2010.

Answer 4

The pips come from an atomic clock in hate to say it France.

Answer 5

i guess we will all just have to wait and see

Answer 6

They're just an analogue sound source broadcast in the same way as music/speech!

The fact that it's a digital transmission makes no difference.
