Digital radio listening throughout Australia has reached a high of nearly 13 percent, meaning that more than 1.6 million people are listening each week. The number of digital radios sold continues to rise with 87,555 DAB+ devices sold in 3Q2013 (according to 3Q2013 GfK Marketscope report). The total number of digital radios sold since the 2009 launch has reached 1,406,151.

Another theme was the integration of digital radio into mobile handsets; WorldDMB, is offering technical support for the development of a user interface. “Our key objectives now are to continue the roll-out of DAB into new markets and to accelerate the uptake of digital radio in cars and mobile phones,” said Hannon.

Bayerischer Rundfunk's digital radio reception in three regions of Bavaria continued to improve today with the introduction of new stations in Landshut, Hochberg / Traunstein and Ulm. The BR-network (channel 11 D) thereby increased to 21 locations throughout Bavaria.

Digital Radio UK, the body tasked with overseeing the switchover, said most radio groups, representing the vast majority of listeners, continued to support an "in-principle decision on radio switchover".

You will also find DAB+ and DAB radio on the X-SMC11DAB and it comes with the option to be wall-mounted. The more expensive X-SMAC55DAB packs built-in Wi-Fi, Wireless Direct, Apple Airplay and Spotify Connect, enabling you to stream directly through the speaker. It also has DLNA v1.5 so you can stream from near enough any machine you have.

Speaking about the roll-out of digital radio, Hannon said: “DAB / DAB+ is rapidly extending its footprint across Europe. The last two years have seen significant launches in Germany and the Netherlands, and, in the more mature markets (UK, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland), Digital Switchover is now firmly on the agenda. The progress in all these territories is building significant momentum across the continent”.

“The complete network is now fully on air and is the first nationwide radio service relying entirely on IP connectivity for the transmission feeds — a result of Harris Broadcast's deep expertise and advanced capabilities of the transmission equipment,” said Robert-jan van der Hoeven of Broadcast Partners.

Harris Broadcast, a market-share leader of content management and network infrastructure solutions serving the global broadcast, communication service provider, government and enterprise markets, and Broadcast Partners, a premier supplier of professional radio broadcast products and services, today announced they have completed the Netherlands’ transition to all digital radio.
