Denmark - Regulation and Spectrum - History

15.10.2012

DAB regulation is set by three different bodies in Denmark: The Ministry of Culture legislates for media policy and licences, the Ministry of Science sets the political framework for frequency applications and the National IT and Telecoms Agency maintains technical management of the frequency spectrum . Public broadcaster DR (Danish Radio) runs the national multiplex and the two regional multiplexes which are run as one national multiplex and rented out to the commercial broadcasters .

The Parliament has decided that radio in Denmark should be digitised on DAB and a media agreement is expected in the autumn of 2012 . Until then it is still uncertain when FM will be shut off . The most important decision to be made is about establishing a regional multiplex, and when or if broadcasting should gradually change to DAB+
