DAB+: Network expansion in Saxony-Anhalt

20.12.2024 - Germany Germany

On 20 December 2024, MDR will expand its DAB+ transmitter network in Saxony-Anhalt to include the new locations in Hettstedt and Eisleben. This will further improve DAB+ coverage in the Mansfelder Land region. ‘We are already very well positioned with digital radio reception in Central Germany. Now we need to close individual gaps in coverage and optimise the reception of all MDR radio stations via DAB+ as a whole,’ says Niels Schulze, Head of Programme Distribution at MDR. This increases the level of coverage in buildings in Saxony-Anhalt from 96 to 98 per cent; coverage for mobile reception is already at 99 per cent.
