Spectrum & Regulation

DIGITAL RADIO TOOLKIT - KEY FACTORS IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF DIGITAL RADIO

The European Broadcasting Union published a Digital Radio Toolkit which examines the key success factors for radio digitization. The report focuses on good practices for introducing digital radio and describes various ways to handle the main digitisation issues by highlighting 30 factors that contribute to positive acceptance of digital radio by listeners. Each of these key success factors is illustrated with a specific national example. The experiences analysed in this report can be helpful when introducing national policies and broadcasting strategies for launching digital radio. View the full report here.
