Germany - Services on Air - History

12.08.2010

There are now more than 60 DAB radio stations in Germany (both public and commercial). There are up to 15 stations per site, split into a variety of regional and local multiplexes. Most are simulcasts of FM stations, but there are an increasing number of DAB-only channels. Data services broadcasting news and travel information are also available in many areas.

As Germany's re-launch of DAB using DAB+ rolls out, the number of stations on air will fluctuate but should eventually provide each listener with between 30 and 40 services.
