Representatives from network operator Teleradio PU and the Azerbaijan Automobile Dealers Association (AADA) held meetings in July 2020 to discuss how to ensure that DAB+ digital radio is included as standard in all new cars imported and sold in Azerbaijan. They also considered how to promote the benefits of DAB+ in the car to radio listeners.

AADA agreed to carry out a review of the current radio landscape in Azerbaijan, with particular focus on DAB+, and to include market research to understand more fully the perceptions and needs of both drivers and car dealers in relation to radio. Teleradio PU committed to providing financial support for the launch of consumer marketing campaigns aimed at raising driver awareness of DAB+ digital radio.
