08.03.2019

TRT, the Turkish Broadcasting Corporation, launched DAB+ test transmissions in Band III with 4 transmitters, in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa and Kocaeli, since May 2017. 

TRT is currently airing DAB test transmissions broadcasting eight simulcast services in Band III. Radio-1, TRT-FM, Radio-3, TRT-Nağme, TRT-Türkü, TRT-Haber, Kent-İstanbul and Kent-İzmir  are being broadcast via a single transmitter simultaneously with FM Broadcasts.

In order to support the transition into terrestrial digital broadcasting in Turkey,  TRT wants to expand the DAB+ trial  broadcast network with the addition of other major cities to the network in the next step.

A new tender for frequencies is expected to be launched in 2019, this time not only for digital terrestrial television but also for analogue & digital radio.
The details of the tender have not yet been announced, although RTÜK issued a regulation which describes the subject on 23 December 2018.
