TDPradio, the Belgium-based dance music radio station has started broadcasting its unique dance music channel to listeners across Asia using Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM). Dance music lovers can now tune into the station in pure digital quality via DRM short wave and enjoy high quality dance music no matter which Asian country they are living in.
TDPradio has been broadcasting across Europe and the north east United States since 2003 when it was the first dance music radio station to use DRM to reach listeners. The station’s ultimate aim is to be a worldwide dance music radio station broadcasting in DRM digital radio so listeners can tune into, regardless of location, to enjoy its broad mix of dance styles including house, groove, (hard) trance, euro-dance, elektro and club music.
TDPradio’s Program Manager Daniël Versmissen says, “This station has something for all dance music lovers and it showcases how great music sounds when broadcasting using DRM.” This station will broadcast from 0700-0800 UTC on 17755 kHz everyday across Asia. The transmission originates from Darwin, Australia via CVC Network Ltd .

May I suggest that one hour of daily broadcasting isn’t enough to be called a radio “channel.”

Has anybody made a DRM receiver/ listener count?
If so, how many DRM radios/listeners are there at the moment?
Any progress regarding the FCC approval of the uniwave di-wave?

Great dance music. Just what I want to hear. Maybe this is just one of the reasons why DRM has never really caught on.

Good plan
Let all radio be aimed at the young, so that 50+ age group can dump their radio sets.
That is one of my problems with DRM, all commercial broadcasters mainlly want tp reach the same age group, that is why they think that DRM will solve their problems.
It will simply led to more of the same.
