Denmark - Regulation and Spectrum - History

24.03.2010

DAB regulation is set by three different bodies in Denmark; The Ministry of Culture legislates for media politics and licences, the Ministry of Science sets the political framework for frequency applications and the National IT and Telecoms Agency maintains technical management of the frequency spectrum. Public broadcaster Denmark Radio (DR) runs one national multiplex, and two regional multiplexes are run as one national multiplex by the commercial broadcasters.  DR is able to use the free space on the commercial multiplex until the end of the 2008 calendar year.

In 2009 the Danish government confirmed it would not be renewing the FM network and the future is digital. There are currently no switch off plans however these are currently being discussed.
