Flemish Parliament approves Van Achter’s radio decree: “More choice and better radio for listeners”

10.07.2026 - Top story - Belgium Belgium

The Flemish Parliament approved the radio decree proposed by Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje Van Achter. This marks a further step for Flanders towards a modern radio landscape, with clear rules for DAB+ and a framework for the ongoing digital transition of radio. With the new decree, Minister Van Achter aims to ensure fair and clear rules, both for traditional FM radio and for DAB+. This means that clear procedures for allocating frequencies will also be introduced for digital radio, and licences will be granted for nine years, just as they are for FM. Importantly, local radio stations will now also have the opportunity to broadcast on DAB+.
