Czech Digital Group wants to copy the multiplex of Czech Radio, whose multiplex is technologically provided by Czech Radiokomunikace. In June, the operator will launch its regional network for Prague on channel 6B and switch off the programme offer on channel 7A. Plans for the construction of DAB+ multiplexes were presented by representatives of Czech Radio at today's Innovation Day conference. Czech Radiokomunikace, or its subsidiary Czech Digital Group, expects to start construction of its national multiplex B in July. Broadcasting from the first sites will start this September. Marcel Procházka, director of the operator's legal and regulatory department, made the announcement at the Innovation Day conference. By the end of this year, namely in December, the operator wants to reach 50% coverage of the population, and by March 2025 it will reach more than 80%.
