 New Euro DRM Service Will Launch in Early 2009

Early 2009 is the target for a new joint radio service that will serve European 
audiences via DRM shortwave.

It was announced in September by the BBC World Service and Deutsche 
Welle; the English-language service will target Western and Central Europe, 
with content including global news and current affairs, analysis, 
documentaries and cultural programs.

In the announcement, Mike Cronk of the BBC World Service called this an 
important time for DRM and "a huge opportunity" for broadcasters in Europe 
to look at the potential for new services. "Two of the most important players 
in international broadcasting are reaffirming their faith in the DRM standard."

Digital Radio Mondiale is a digital broadcasting system for bands below 30 
MHz (long-, medium- and shortwave). Ruxandra Obreja is chair of the DRM 
Consortium and the controller for business development at the BBC World 
Service; she stated in the announcement: "Deutsche Welle and the BBC see 
DRM as the winning solution for the digitization of the AM bands on a global 
scale and they believe that this new stream for Europe will give a welcome 
boost to international digital radio."

She continued: "Listeners in Western and Central Europe can now buy one 
of the growing selection of DRM-capable receivers and hear in excellent 
quality top-class programs that in recent years they could only access 
online."

For recent reports on developments in DRM and in the leadership of the 
consortium, see "What's Happening With DRM in the U.S." and "DRM: 
Behind Its Targets, But Catching Up?".

BBC World Service is a U.K.-based international radio and online 
broadcaster; Deutsche Welle is Germany's international broadcaster.
