Yesterday, in a survey, we opened the topic of the future of DAB + radio broadcasting. In our editorial office, the impression is that there is no real will to implement this technology within clearly defined deadlines, with clearly divided tasks and responsibilities, especially here we mean the state that should encourage it. We wrote about it critically two years ago. And almost nothing has moved for the better. This applies primarily to Croatia, but also to other countries in the region, except Slovenia, which is still a step ahead. Without incentives, without deadlines and a DAB + strategy, there is no chance. But you could read differently in this article. To strengthen media diversity and motivate new players, the Swiss regulator Ofcom has in recent years subsidized up to 80% of the DAB + costs of switching to digital broadcasting, so this measure has significantly contributed to its success. So it can be done if there is a motive. To stimulate discussion and find a solution and way out of this situation, in the coming weeks we will publish interviews with many important people from the radio industry, institutions, and the interested public to hear their thoughts on this topic. Get involved, send us your suggestions and comment. In the first continuation of this topic, we asked a few questions to Franko Pavić, director and owner of Antena Zadar, which broadcasts experimentally via DAB + technology in Croatia.
