Radio: 2018-2020 roadmap for the deployment of DAB +

The DAB + is deployed in Paris, Marseille and Nice on a total of 14 multiplexes after a first call for applications. Two calls involving a total of 30 multiplexes are in progress, notably in Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Rouen, Douai-Lens, Strasbourg, Béthune, Valenciennes, Mulhouse, Dunkirk, Le Havre and Saint-Nazaire. The Council conducted from 27 July to 4 October 2017 a public consultation on accelerating the local deployment of DAB + and on how to organize a metropolitan call for applications. It received 47 contributions, representing all the components of the radio sector (publishers and their unions, distributors, broadcast providers, multiplex operators, receiver manufacturers).
