DAB+ in Europe: The overview

More and more countries in Europe are turning to DAB+ and starting to roll out new digital programmes. Where DAB+ is already established, the variety of programmes has increased significantly in recent months. For listeners, this means more variety and clearer digital reception. Radio broadcasts via DAB and/or DAB+ are currently available in 33 European countries, DAB+ has already been tested in others and the start of regular operation is being planned. DAB+ programmes are combined in so-called multiplexes (mux). These are programme platforms that combine up to 16 stations on one frequency and are therefore more energy and resource efficient than FM broadcasting.
