There are currently four cities where DAB is broadcast with the following stations on-air; Radio Atlas, Sisuradio Minnen, P3 Star teenagers, SR Klassiskt, P1 talk and news channel simulcast and temporary channels include Eurovision, All Christmas station, Olympic station some simulcast. DAB is on-air today, however DAB receivers cannot be marketed and commercial players cannot get licences. However after two years of research a favourable report was made by the Radio & TV Authority on the future of digital radio in Sweden recommending DAB+ as the system of choice for Sweden. DAB+ trials have begun in Sweden in 2009 and it is hoped a decision on digital radio will be made by the end of 2009.
