"In addition to all the technical advantages, DAB+ is also much cheaper. Deutschlandradio could lower technical costs by 14 million euros per year.

London radio station Lyca Radio will look to expand its DAB service offering after getting approval from UK regulator Ofcom to drop its weekday hourly local news on the AM bandwidth.
