Estonia - Coverage - History

08.10.2025

DAB+ radio stations are currently broadcast via two networks (R1 and R3), which will reach 80% of the Estonian population by the fourth quarter of 2025. The network will be expanded in stages:

September 1, 2025: Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, Koeru, and Valgjärve

Fourth quarter: Haapsalu, Pehka, Orissaare, and Kohtla-Nõmme (network R1 only)

As DAB+ becomes more popular, the coverage area will be expanded and improved in the future. Network R2 will be launched if all R1 network resources are in use and there is a need for additional radio stations.

Network R1 coverage area as of 31 October 2025
