Digital radio in Austria is celebrating its 5th birthday this year and can also look back on a success story. On 21 June 2024, the largest expansion of private radio stations since the start of private broadcasting in 1998 will take place. From 21 June, 14 more stations will be available on DAB+ throughout Austria. This will bring the national network to 30 stations. The expansion of the DAB+ network in the regions is particularly pleasing. These will cover the broadcasting areas of Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Salzburg and Upper Austria, Carinthia and Styria, Southern Burgenland as well as Lower Austria and Northern Burgenland. The regional transmitter networks will also be expanded by 14 programmes. With the new stations, the digital radio offering that can be received via DAB+ will grow to a total of 58 programmes.
