SRG definitely switches to DAB+
SRG will cease radio broadcasting via DAB in mid-November.
At the same time, the DAB+ offering will be further expanded, as SRG announced on Monday. Since 2012, the SRG has broadcast nine of its radio programs in parallel on DAB and DAB+. This parallel broadcasting will be discontinued on November 15, because there are now only a few radios in Swiss households that are equipped solely with DAB.
Some of these devices could be retrofitted for DAB+ or expanded with a DAB+ adapter. It is recommended that you contact your specialist dealer directly if you have any questions about radio equipment. DAB+ is expected to gradually replace analog FM broadcasting in Switzerland from 2020. With the expansion as of November 15, the DAB+ offering in Switzerland will increase to more than 100 radio stations, the SRG further writes. From that date, listeners will also be able to hear Radio SRF 3, Couleur 3 and Rete Tre almost throughout the country. The broadcast area of the regional journals of Radio SRF 1 will also be significantly expanded. To ensure that all existing and all newly launched DAB+ radio stations are receivable, a broadcast search run must be carried out on most radio sets after November 15 from 2.15 p.m., it continues.
