MDR radio stations are continuing their complete switch to DAB+

04.08.2026 - Germany Germany

On 1 September, MDR will continue the transition to DAB+ radio broadcasting and cease parallel analogue broadcasts via ten short-range FM frequencies. This will also affect listeners in Freiberg, Grimma, Hoyerswerda, Bad Lobenstein, Nordhausen and Schmölln. They will continue to receive the relevant MDR services via DAB+ (channel 9A), often via alternative FM frequencies, via satellite, via cable, as well as on mdr.de and on ARD Sounds. As a modern and sustainable regional media organisation, MDR has digitised its entire production and distribution chain in recent years. Only FM broadcasts are still analogue. As it did in 2025, MDR is ceasing the broadcast of its programmes on selected FM frequencies this year as well.
