Research and Markets: The Launch of Australia Digital Radio, Which Will Start in Capital Cities from January 2009, is Expected to Cost the Radio Sector about $400 Million
DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c92736) has announced the addition of Australia - Radio - Digital Radio to their offering.
There is currently no timetable for the introduction of digital radio in Australia. Two major trials are being conducted in Sydney and Melbourne for digital radio. Most commercial radio stations are trialling digital radio through Commercial Radio Australia. Although on display in some retailers’ demonstration centres, as of early 2007 digital radios were not generally available in Australia. Some of the radio stations in Sydney currently trialling digital radio are already making use of digital radio’s advanced data capabilities. The launch of digital radio, which will start in capital cities from January 2009, is expected to cost the radio sector about $400 million. By that time many industry experts believe that the radio industry could be overtaken by new technologies such as wireless Internet radio. In March 2007 Australian commercial radio broadcasters agreed to adopt the new DAB+ standard for the implementation of digital radio. In June 2007, the ACMA extended the current digital radio trials in Melbourne and Sydney.
