Will Prague have 128 digital stations? Eight commercial DAB+ networks will cover the capital
Each network can accommodate around 16 radio stations. Today there are 33 private radio stations broadcasting digitally in Prague, about a quarter of the planned number. How many radios can the Czech market support? There are currently around 60 terrestrial stations in the Czech Republic (excluding the public Czech Radio stations), but most are amalgamated into larger stations with regionally disconnected news and advertising. Digitally, there are 33 stations in four digital networks (CRA DAB+, Teleko DAB+, RTIcz, COLOR DAB+), not including the public multiplex of Czech Radio. However, after the auction of frequencies for DAB+ networks, the number of digital radio multiplexes in Prague will double to eight and their total capacity will accommodate up to 128 private radios.
