DAB+ on World Radio Day: digital, reliable, future-proof
On 13 February, World Radio Day commemorates the founding of United Nations Radio in 1946 - and thus 79 years of radio as a reliable source of information. Even in the digital age, the medium remains indispensable. DAB+ radio, the digital successor to FM, will ensure that future generations will also have free and non-discriminatory access to relevant news. According to the EBU, terrestrial radio is the most trusted medium in 28 out of 31 European countries. The share of digital radio receivers is growing continuously. In 2024, over 1.2 million DAB+ receivers were sold in Germany (GfK retail panel), which corresponds to 50 per cent of all radio receivers sold - a significant increase compared to 2020, when the share was 35 per cent.
