The Broadcasting Corporation of China (BCC), a private network with nationwide coverage, operates three FM and three AM channels as well as a digital audio broadcasting system.
In July 2010, the Government of Chinese Taipei announced plans for digital convergence by 2015. During the first stage of the program, from 2010 through 2012, a number of bills will be formulated and sent to the legislature for passage, including a radio and TV broadcast law.
Chinese Taipei has been a supporter of DAB and DAB+ broadcasting and planned for a full implementation of digital broadcasting (both TV and radio) by 2010. Lack of marketing, promotion and consumer awareness has slowed this digital expansion. The new laws currently being developed should set a firm timeline in place for digital conversion of all media and telecoms.
