On the 20th of January 2016 The National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM) launched a public consultation on the allocation of digital terrestrial broadcasting multiplexes T-DAB in the band 216-230MHz. Romania has planned two layers of T-DAB spectrum currently occupied by analogue television channels 11 and 12 (216-230 MHz band), through which it can transmit 12 radio programmes.

The Authority drew up a questionnaire addressed to all suppliers potentially interested in acquiring the rights to use the multiplexes to find out their opinion on the manner and the conditions for granting the frequencies and intentions of incumbents or of potential new entrants with regards to their participation in any competitive selection procedure for the allocation of the spectrum available.
