European Radio Conference
European Radio Conference. Workshop Digital Radio on Monday 27 October 2008.
Managing Director Dr. Klaus Goldhammer will run the panel-session “Radio on the move. Developments and challenges of digital radio in Europe”.
Digitisation of radio is - apart from very few countries – still stagnating at a very low level or even at a trial stage. Especially in continental Europe, radio is mainly still an analogue medium. DAB, the standard originally designed to replace FM is, arguably apart from the UK and Denmark, not a success story and DAB implementation has been stagnating for several years now. But other standards and systems are also far from succeeding. The session provides an overview of the digital radio platforms available to broadcasters, with discussions focussing on cost, efficiency, business models, and consumer interest and quality issues.
