The Electronic Media Council opened a public call for expression of interest for programme licences in DAB+ technology for western part of Croatia, for a trial period one year.
Test broadcasting of digital radio in Croatia Started 20 November in the presence of the Prime Minister's Envoy, Minister Oleg Butković.
On the transmitters object Sljeme, located near the Capital of Zagreb, in the presence of the Envoy of the President of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, the Minister of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, Mr Oleg Butković ceremonially launched the test phase of 12 months for the broadcast of digital radio in the Republic of Croatia.
Among other guests, this important event was attended by the representatives of the Croatian Regulatory Authority for Network Industries (HAKOM) Dražen Lučić and Mario Weber, as well as the representatives of the Agency for Electronic Media (AEM) Robert Tomljenović and Davor Marić.
After he had pressed the button which officially started the broadcasting of digital radio, Minister Oleg Butković declared that he feels immense satisfaction and honour because, at this point, more than two million listeners in the Republic of Croatia would be able to receive new digital radio signals without interference, with more programmes and content.
Mate Botica, the Director of the Transmitters and Communications Ltd, the carrier of this project, looked back to the existing FM technology, saying that the launch of digital radio did not mean the shutdown of FM technology in the near future, only new and greater opportunities for listeners.
In October 2017, the Electronic Media Council chose 16 existing FM broadcasters for broadcasting in DAB+ technology. The chosen radio stations are, as follows: Radio 808, Radio Kaj, Sjeverni FM, Radio Koprivnica, Radio Istra, Antena radio, Radio Zabok, Narodni radio, Radio Dalmacija , GOLD FM, Radio Banovina, Enter Zagreb, Trend radio, Radio Martin, Soundset Trsat and Radio 101.
