Various European radio broadcasters founded the European HD Radio Alliance in Lucerne on October 22 to publicize and promote HD radio technology throughout the continent. The association follows on from the US HD Digital Radio Alliance founded in December 2005 and the Brazilian Association for Digital Radio formed in 2006, according to a press release issued on Friday. The President of the new association is Jürg Bachmann from Energy Zurich, the Vice President is Andriy Karpiy from the First Ukrainian Radio Group and the Secretary General is Markus Ruoss from Radio Sunshine. The conference of the European HD Radio Alliance coincided with the HD Radio Days event in Lucerne, Switzerland, which was attended by over 200 experts from 13 countries. The HD Radio system is a digital radio system that was created to compete with DAB. While the HD Radio system has been recognized as the only technology in the USA to date, DAB is the dominant standard in Europe.
