World Radio Day 2024: Cars bring DAB+ to Spain
This 'World Radio Day 2024' is also different. Very different. Because the Corporación Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) has announced the "start of DAB+ digital radio broadcasts". A fact that will be further explained at an event to be held today, Tuesday, in Torrespaña. It was foreseeable that this news would come at some point, and today seems like a good day to announce it, and press the DAB+ button in Spain. García Castillejo estimated that, with the arrival of spring, there would be around three million receivers "on wheels" in Spain, referring to new cars that, according to a European Directive of the end of 2020, must include DAB and DAB+ receivers as standard, in addition to FM and, in some cases, OM. The considerable number of receivers justifies the activation of this channel, based on the concept of 'public service' that inspires the work of the Corporación RTVE.
