Antenna Hungária implemented the first phase of the digital terrestrial radio network by December 2008 and started the test DAB+ transmission on three transmitters in Budapest, on channel 11D,and reaching approximately 30% of the Hungarian population.
Pursuant to the contract concluded with the former National Communications Authority (National Media and Infocommunications Authority) Antenna Hungária had constructed the first phase of its digital terrestrial radio network. Thereafter the Company started experimental broadcasting on its DAB+ digital terrestrial radio network, which is received since 23 January 2009 in and around Budapest.
Trial services on air included Magyar Rádió Kossuth, Petőfi and Bartók (the three channels of Swiss Satellite Radio could still be heard then). The experimental broadcast was supplemented in mid-February 2009 by adding Sláger Rádió and Magyar Katolikus Rádió (Hungarian Catholic Radio), in April (together with two channels ceased to be broadcast until that time) Klubrádió as well as Danubius Radio and Juventus Rádió (which is not transmitted from January 3, 2011) in October raising then the number of channels to thirteen, providing listeners with a broader variety of programs.
From 19 November 2009, Sláger Rádió and Danubius Rádió were cancelled from the list after terminating the nationwide broadcast of their programs. However, the program of Lánchíd Rádió and Inforádió were put on the DAB+ radio system on 19 November 2009 and 17 February 2010.
