Digital radio: SRG switches on further radio stations
SRG will be broadcasting more programs on the DAB+ standard from mid-October 2009. From the end of 2012, all SRG radio stations throughout Switzerland are to be broadcast using the new standard.
With DAB+ digital radio, World Radio Switzerland (WRS), "The first Swiss Radio in English", will now also be receivable in German-speaking Switzerland. In French-speaking Switzerland, the radio station DRS Musikwelle will be added. In Ticino, DRS 1 and La Première will now be available on DAB+. In Graubünden, SRG has already been broadcasting all radio stations in the Swiss-German program range in DAB+ format since October 2008. A transition period until the end of 2015 at the latest should enable listeners to switch to DAB+. Until then, SRG will continue to broadcast some programs in DAB. FM broadcasting will remain in place.
