Carine Lea Chardon from German electrical industry association ZVEI: "From the point of view of ZVEI, the current conflict over the future of FM radio offers the opportunity to further raise awareness of the advantages of digital radio in public. Radio should not be left as the only infrastructure in the analogue."

To prepare for the radio programs to DAB+ in Switzerland, the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has launched a public call for tenders for a marketing campaign to promote DAB+, for a period of four years starting in 2019.

Particularly praiseworthy at this point is the standard in the ACENTA equipment availability of digital radio DAB+, giving the inclined occupant a particularly good sound source available.

The model variant RX-D485 also has a DAB + tuner for digital radio reception on board, as Yamaha built it into the Aventage top models.

A new marketing campaign to promote DAB+ in Germany will run from 2 to 11 May. The campaign will be jointly promoted between Digitalradio Deutschland, ARD, Deutschlandradio and its members.

The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has tendered a mandate for a four-year information campaign on DAB+ from 2019, to enable smooth transition from FM to DAB+.

ARD, Deutschlandradio, private providers and other members of Digitalradio Deutschland will begin a marketing campaign promoting DAB+ from 2 to 11 May with the slogan "DAB+, because that's the way radio goes today."

GatesAir is getting ready to send its final shipments of transmitters to Norway, bringing the total of its transmitters deployed to 1218 in support of Norway's transition to DAB. GatesAir says it has been involved in Norway’s DAB digital radio activity since the nation’s first tests in 1994.

The model variant RX-D485 also has a DAB+ tuner for digital radio reception on board.

This accessory, in addition to allowing you to listen to FM radio stations, supports the DAB standard, which means that it receives and decodes this type of signal and offers in areas covered in Italy (for radios that already support it from now) very high quality broadcasts, with sound comparable to that of CDs or digital players.
