DAB+ radio in 2024: increasing use / ‘ASA’ warning system presented / switch to digital radio in Switzerland

17.12.2024 - Germany Germany

DAB+ radio has reached significant milestones in 2024: The new ASA warning system, which will be available from summer 2025, will strengthen civil protection through digital terrestrial radio. Despite a challenging market environment, interest in DAB+ is growing among providers and listeners. In Switzerland, SRG will complete the switch to DAB+ digital radio by the end of the year, while radio stations in Schleswig-Holstein will switch from analogue to digital by 2031. After two years of intensive co-operation, the WorldDAB association and Digitalradio Deutschland e.V. are presenting an exemplary innovation for DAB+ digital radio: The ‘Automatic Safety Alert (ASA)’ warning system, which protects the population in emergencies and crises and reliably transmits safety messages digitally on the radio without an internet connection.
