President Director Hendrasmo stressed that transformation is no longer optional but essential. “RRI must continue to move with the times. Transformation is not a choice but a need to ensure RRI remains relevant, trusted, and impactful," he emphasized.

For listeners within the coverage area of the Herzogstand transmitter, the FM frequencies for five BR radio stations will change from 29 September: Bayern 1, Bayern 2, Bayern 3, BR Klassik and BR24. In future, the BR will broadcast these programmes exclusively via DAB+ from Herzogstand. They can still be received via FM from alternative transmitter sites. The reason for this is the decommissioning of the Herzogstand FM transmitter for economic reasons and to improve energy efficiency in broadcasting.

In February 2026, Ofcom published its Licensing Priorities for Broadcast Radio Consultation, setting out the proposed strategic approach to broadcast radio licensing in the UK. Having considered the stakeholder responses, the regulator says that it will focus on licence priorities in the short-to-medium term to include: "a) new opportunities for SSDAB multiplexes in unserved areas; b) applications from existing SSDAB multiplex licensees to improve or extend the coverage of their multiplex; c) a more flexible approach, where appropriate, in our application of the ‘40% ceiling’ rule regarding SSDAB."
