DAB+ arrives on the Cotentin radio scene
Since 2 April 2026, residents in the north of the Manche department have been able to access a new way of listening to the radio: DAB+. Initially, 25 radio stations are available. “Cherbourg-en-Cotentin was the last town in France with over 50,000 inhabitants that did not yet have DAB+,” points out Raphaël Eyraud, president of TowerCast, which manages around ten transmitters in the department. A launch ceremony took place at the foot of the 116-metre-high transmitter in Digosville, near Cherbourg. "DAB+ is a real boon, a modernisation of radio. Radio is an everyday medium, and it needs this digital upgrade. The aim now is to convince listeners to switch from FM to DAB+,” says Charles-Emmanuel Bon, chairman of the “Ensemble pour le DAB+” association.
