Our Data Charts
DAB+ digital radio has been on air in state mainland capital cities for nearly 13 years. Having completed a survey book, they are collecting data on what is used to listen to simulcasting broadcasters. ie digital radio, Smart Speaker, streamed and AM/FM. They also ask where the listening is occurring and are headphones being used.
Publishing this information in RadioInfo would be interesting to see what technology listeners are using for the AM/FM broadcasts.
Thank you for publishing the ratings for DAB+ only programs.
