DAB+ drives discussions in digital direction

21.11.2025 - - Belgium

DAB+ developments across Europe were the focus of this year’s WorldDAB Summit in Antwerp. New figures showed that more than half of all listening in Flanders is now digital, with DAB+ accounting for nearly a third of total listening. WorldDAB President Jacqueline Bierhorst opened the event by saying that DAB+ supports radio’s long-term strength for listeners at home, at work and on the road. Jacqueline also urged the EU to take the next step in safeguarding broadcast radio by requiring all new vehicles to include a radio receiver as standard. She confirmed that WorldDAB is producing a public policy toolkit with South 180 and commissioning new automotive research to understand how drivers use radio and what they expect from broadcast services.
