Operated by Emitel, the trial local multiplex broadcasts four national DAB+ services, three local DAB+ services (the same in all regions) and one TPEG traffic information service.

The DAB+ implementation strategy assumes the creation of three new national services and one additional regional service broadcasted in digital only. Finally the multiplex of public service broadcasters will contain 10 nationwide services and two regional services available on the relevant regional territory.
