Flanders takes a significant step towards DAB+ for local radio stations

05.05.2026 - Top story - Belgium Belgium

The Flemish Government has given its initial approval in principle to the local frequency plan for DAB+. This paves the way for a permanent arrangement to allow local radio stations to broadcast digitally as well. “Local radio stations are and will remain important to Flemish listeners. With this plan, we are giving local radio stations the opportunity to reach their audience digitally as well,” said Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje Van Achter. Local radio stations have been asking for some time to be able to broadcast on DAB+. During the previous parliamentary term, pilot projects were therefore temporarily carried out for a limited number of radio stations. With the new local DAB+ frequency plan, there is now the prospect of a permanent arrangement for the entire local radio sector.
