Coverage is expected to reach 95% of the Maltese Islands, and the licence runs for eight years, subject to review after six years. Malta was the first European country to roll out a DAB+ network and services were on-air in October 2008. There are over 15 services on the multiplex which include MOT, EPG and DLS applications. By the beginning of 2009 already 5.6 percent of the Maltese population were using DAB+ digital radio. The Digi B Network Ltd is also re-broadcasting the BBC World Service on DAB+ and the launch is supported by PURE digital.
