Over 90% of local public broadcasters in Netherlands want to broadcast on DAB+

14.02.2024 - Netherlands Netherlands

There seems to be a lot of interest among local public broadcasters to start broadcasting via DAB+. More than 200 local broadcasters, or over 90% of all broadcasters, applied to broadcast via digital airwaves. On 13 February, the National Digital Infrastructure Inspectorate granted these stations a licence to broadcast via DAB+ as of September. A nationwide network consisting of 57 local allotments is available for this purpose. The broadcasters have until September 1, 2025 to start their broadcasts. All licenses are valid until September 1, 2030. Later this year the application and allocation procedure for the more than 800 remaining licenses will start for the commercial local broadcasters. Currently there are already about 20 local DAB+ networks on the air through temporary licenses. These expire at the end of August.
