More digital diversity in the Berlin-Brandenburg radio market

20.12.2024 - Germany Germany

The mabb Media Council has decided to invite tenders for five FM frequencies in Berlin and the state of Brandenburg. The digitisation of terrestrial radio broadcasting will be advanced with a requirement for FM/DAB+ simulcast. Martin Gorholt, Chairman of the mabb Media Council: ‘We want to further advance the digital transformation of the radio market. For this reason, we are combining the FM allocations with the requirement that the providers broadcast their respective programmes in a so-called FM/DAB+ simulcast, i.e. both via FM and simultaneously via DAB+. We want to offer all market participants the opportunity to accompany the digitisation process in a prudent and well-positioned manner.’
