Over 60 DAB stations on air a month after launch in France

French digital terrestrial radio services, launched in Paris, Marseille and Nice on 20 June, have so far attracted 62 stations, nine of which are transmitting in more than one city, according to broadcast regulator CSA. Some of the stations are not available in FM, or can not be received in FM in the markets where they now broadcast in digital. Nearly all of the stations are using the DAB+ standard. The CSA said more stations were set to start transmitting in digital terrestrial in the upcoming weeks. The regulator plans to publish a report in the autumn that will propose the future direction of digital radio.
