The network operator (TDF) produced comprehensive coverage plans in 2009 ready for the start of national and regional services. One of the benefits of digital to French listeners as pointed out by the CSA is that it will allow greater coverage and more stations in many areas. This is important to the CSA and to Radio France who have a remit to provide the best service including coverage to the widest audience possible.
In Lyon the RNT Lyon project has two multiplexes covering 85% of the population and some of the major highways.
