VIDEO: Bierhorst on Radio Express: Why broadcast matters more than ever
WorldDAB President Jacqueline Bierhorst speaks to Ivan Laskov, Head of Content for Radio Express, at Radiodays Europe 2026 in Riga about why broadcast radio - and DAB+ in particular - matters. "It gives radio reach, resilience and control," she says. "And it supports safety, protects language and your culture, and it keeps distribution in our own hands as broadcasters - I think that's very important. You have to have a broadcast backbone as we've seen in Spain when there's power outages. As we've seen through terrorism attacks, and extreme weather, broadcast towers are more robust and resilient and DAB+ is. It also includes ASA automatic safety alert - which will be implemented in Germany. That's now part of their warning system in the country."
