DAB+ in Ireland – An opportunity to seize through bold content and exemplary collaboration

A RadioToday opinion piece by Olivier Mauxion at Eirewave on the latest DAB developments. “With experience in DAB+ initiatives across Switzerland, France and the UK, I’ve seen both pitfalls and successes – and one thing is certain: content is king.

The trial’s launch on 24 March 2025, bringing 26 stations to Dublin and parts of Leinster, is a positive sign. The mix of well-known FM brands and more niche outlets sets a good tone.
