Frontier Silicon, the world leader in technology solutions for digital radio receivers, is the first technology provider to receive formal confirmation that its solutions are Digital Tick Mark compliant.

Toumaz (LON:TMZ), the ultra-low power wireless semiconductor technology firm, said two of its digital radio modules have received the Digital Tick Mark. The Digital Tick Mark is being introduced in the UK this year as part of the Government's long term strategy to develop a digital future for radio. The idea behind it is to assure consumers that an appliance bearing the tick mark is capable of receiving and playing digital audio broadcasts (DAB), DAB+ and FM signals.

The campaign for DAB + (Digital Radio +): "Let's get Digital," has been officially launched in the Netherlands yesterday. The campaign can be heard on all radio stations nationwide, and online and supported on TV. The campaign was developed jointly by the national commercial and public radio stations, supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Everything's popping up - restaurants, tea-rooms, bakeries, shops, cinemas. So why should radio be left out? Earlier this month, the BBC ran a temporary station called Radio 2 Eurovision, broadcasting on DAB digital radio.

An event describing how to implement DAB Digital Radio has been organised in Turkey next month. Planned by WorldDMB, in collaboration with Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT), the free one day workshop will take place on June 14.

Automotive, radio industry and Media Authority join forces to inform Norwegian motorists with a new information brochure.

Today the campaign for Digital Radio + in the Netherlands went live. The campaign was developed jointly by the national commercial and public radio stations, supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Digital Radio + uses the DAB+ broadcast technology. The campaign promotes the benefits to the listener including better sound quality and access to more digital radio stations through a DAB+ receiver.

Since May, TV ads with selected digital radios are being broadcast across the country. The aim of these ads is to further boost sales and to promote the large selection of DAB+ sets available. In Switzerland, the product range already includes 550 models in all price ranges. The TV adverts form part of the 2014 DAB+ campaign, which is reaching radio listeners of all ages through radio spots, information material and social media activities.

Broadcasters are delivering ever more digital programming, and DAB+ continues on course to become a standard for Europe and beyond. Best of all, the innovators are hard at work to make fully connected cars - and smartphones - an easy to use reality at last.

The new Albrecht DR 56 digital radio adaptor is ideal for anyone wanting to upgrade their car radio in a simple, quick and cost-efficient way in order to be able to listen to DAB+ radio.
