Flanders: New round of radio licences in 2027, additional local pilot projects on DAB+

21.10.2025 - Belgium Belgium

The Flemish radio landscape is likely to be shaken up again at the end of 2027. Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje van Achter has announced that there will be a new round of radio licensing. In the short term, there will be three new local pilot projects on DAB+. Van Achter announced the news on Friday afternoon during a digital meeting for local radio stations. From 2028, the recognised radio stations will become joint owners of the DAB+ networks, as is already the case in the Netherlands. The licences for the five local pilot projects (one per province) on DAB+ will be extended. In addition, three new pilot projects will be added in the near future, giving the local sector more scope. Specifically, these are the Bruges-Ostend, Flemish Ardennes and Kempen regions.
