Energy and DAB: Who needs whom?

us happy these days is suggested, even in Switzerland, the digital radio really have to have more momentum and is therefore really depend on that now radio Energy joins the circle of the programs broadcast via DAB. Whatever the case, Energy Zurich is from 15 October 2009 are in fact also be heard on digital radio, if used as part of the new DAB + first layer in the regions of Basel, Bern and Zurich is just aired. Energy will therefore now take the chance and grab the last straw when it receives the digital distribution. Whether sufficient time is to be animated by the end of year, all listeners of the program to purchase a DAB radio, but is on a completely different matter. End of 2009, the program will have known no more concessions to be distributed via the traditional FM frequencies.

It is now nearly one year, paved the impending tragedy in the loss of the FM frequency. After the transmitter in the redistribution of FM licenses is considered low, the management was at first all in one basket and trod the path of appeal, the Federal Administrative Court. From the setting of the digital distribution was indeed always talked behind closed doors, but believed firmly overthrow the decision of DETEC to yet. As we know today, then everything changed.

It's hard to believe! The charge of the station do not seem to have learned from their mistakes. Even the concession fees were waived procedures, in addition to the large concession area (Zurich-Glarus) for the "minor concession" to apply. Today we know that it would have been enough, at least for this small concession, but which now RMC Züri another candidate - was struck - again, a "radio for adults". Since we had not even applied for this small concession area, there was nothing to win. And now that the sad fact is there that the analogue broadcasting will just come to an end, we insist on a transition frequency to make the transition into the digital radio to publicize. Energy that this transition frequency is obtained depends not least on the goodwill from the licensed local radio stations, which, of course, now an unpopular competitors maintained by the neck and do profusion already thanks!

question is already there, so moved the management of Ringier not even a year ago, its lessons from this misery, has this time to just set equal to two options. Energy should have been put in last fall completely out, thanks to Digital Radio to become a national private radio . Ringier would have been certainly a good chance of motivating the SwissMediaCast the launch of the new digital radio layer - as originally planned - to make early as spring 2009. Six months could have been already used to the active listeners to point to the new reception possibility. If later, the Federal Administrative Court also had an FM license would be granted, the bill even more than just risen.

But now the time is short. disappear quite possible that radio energy in less than three months DAB transfer all of the picture, because there is just no FM has received transition frequency. With or without Energy Radio: Digital Radio DAB + will still forward on.
