No. See http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=cb, which says "License documents are neither needed nor issued and there are no age or citizenship requirements. As long as you use only an unmodified FCC certificated CB unit, you are provided authority to operate a CB unit in places where the FCC regulates radio communications."

What are the laws concerning private FM radio transmissions?

In many countries, it is possible to purchase FM transceivers that do not need a license.

All other transmitters need a licence and it would be illegal to transmit in the FM broadcast band (88 - 108 MHz in many countries) without the appropriate license.


Do you need a radio licence to listen to in a work place?

No. Except in wartime, radio receiving equipment has never been regulated. Only transmitting equipment is regulated, for the purpose of keeping things orderly enough so that no transmitter will interfere with the signals of another one. Personally, I think some receiving equipment should be regulated, specifically police radar detectors. But that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.

Will the analog to digital TV change affect TV band radio?

Yes. Your TV band radio will no longer work. You would need to have a radio with a tuner capable of picking up the new digital TV format. I don't know of any such product currently on the market. Digital radio (marketed under the name HD Radio) is a completely different technology.
