BRF switches Brussels service fully to DAB+

11.08.2025 - Belgium Belgium

On Sept. 1, Belgium’s German-language public broadcaster Belgischer Rundfunk will switch its BRF-DLF service in Brussels exclusively to DAB+. The transition marks a significant milestone in BRF’s digital strategy and establishes a national first, with the broadcaster becoming the first in Belgium to fully transition from FM to a DAB+-only service. Since 2001, BRF has broadcast a community program co-produced with Germany’s Deutschlandfunk for the German-speaking population in Brussels. That service has aired on FM 95.2 MHz, which will go off air on Aug. 31. Listeners are being redirected to BRF-DLF’s DAB+ transmission on channel 6D, which the broadcaster says offers higher audio quality, more stable reception and access to additional metadata.
