Radio thrives with DAB+ as broadcast backbone
WorldDAB President, Jacqueline Bierhorst writes: "At the end of last year, I was honored and delighted to be elected as the new president of WorldDAB, the global industry forum for DAB+ digital radio. I’m succeeding Patrick Hannon whose leadership, enthusiasm and vision helped shape WorldDAB’s course for the past 10 years.

Compared to FM, listeners have more choice and digital sound quality, and reception is usually better than before.
