Slovenia's R1 multiplex was filled in August 2019 with the award of licences to Radio Aktual and Radio City to broadcast on the remaining spaces available on the R1 network. Interest was high with 11 applicants - a healthy sign ahead of the public consultation by AKOS on the tender process for a second DAB+ national network, with a public meeting held at AKOS offices on 12 September 2019.

In September 2019, Slovenia's Agency for Communication Networks and Services (Akos) launched a call for tenders for DAB+ frequencies. The contract concerns two multiplexes – R2 (national) and R3 (Ljubljana).

In December 2019 AKOS issued licenses for national mux R2 and local mux R3 (covering the capital city Ljubljana) to the public broadcaster RTV Slovenia.

Radio Štajerska val is now on digital in the whole of eastern Slovenia

13.01.2023 - Slovenia

Štajerské val welcomed the launch of digital broadcasting via DAB+. You can find us on the R2 East DAB+ network, which means we can be heard across the whole of eastern Slovenia, without interruption. "We at Štajerski val are very excited about the transition to digital broadcasting via DAB+, which we have been working towards for a long time," said Greta Kokot Rajković, Programme Director. Last year we were successful in the tender and now you can listen to us on digital DAB+! For us, this means a great gain, an extended coverage area and, above all, coverage of grey spots where we could not be heard at the moment due to the geographical limitations of FM transmitters. At the same time, the launch of the new digital DAB+ format is the first and most beautiful gift to our radio for its upcoming 70th birthday."
