Speech by Roch-Olivier Maistre, Chair of Arcom, opening of Assises de la radio 2023
"For its part, the regulator is committed to working alongside radio operators to help them make the most of these changes and the opportunities offered by their new digital environment. In this respect, the roll-out of digital radio, DAB+, is opening up new prospects, both in terms of listening comfort and experience for the listener and in terms of the dynamism of the landscape, by allowing the arrival of new players and original formats, and therefore new listeners, since radio is a supply medium. In addition to these well-known advantages, there are at least two others that are just as important: a favourable environmental impact, as this technology is more energy-efficient than the FM band or the Internet, and the absence of any risk of disintermediation for the players."
