New Austrian Private Radio Act brings more digital opportunities
On 1 August 2023, the new Private Radio Act comes into force, which in future will make it possible to broadcast six DAB+ programmes per coverage area instead of the previous two. The associated tender for the licences of the regulatory authority KommAustria has already started and will run until 2 October 2023. Media Minister Susanne Raab said: "With the new Private Radio Act, which is now coming into force, we are creating the framework conditions for radio providers to be able to offer more digital radio in Austria. This also brings advantages for listeners, who can receive more modern audio signals."
