DAB also launches in Central Switzerland

With some delay, Digital Audio Broadcasting (
DAB) was also launched in Central Switzerland on Monday. The Rigi is the most important DAB transmitter site for central Switzerland and has a corresponding range: in addition to the north-eastern Lake Lucerne area around Lucerne and Stans, the agglomeration towns of Emmen and Kriens as well as Lake Sempach and Lake Zug are supplied with DAB from there. In the north, the signal extends from the Rigi to Muri in Aargau and Herrliberg on Lake Zurich. Around 850,000 people in the transmitter catchment area will thus be able to enjoy DAB digital radio and receive the new programs of the DAB bouquet, according to a press release. The transmitter on the Rigi will still be in test mode for the first few weeks.
