Who in North Queensland has heard of Digital Radio? What's that you don't know what it is? Is it internet radio? No, it's not... Let me tell you.
Digital Radio (DAB+) is the next generation of frequencies which will eventurally replace AM and FM frequencies around the world. The main noticeable difference with DAB+ much like that of your digital television service is you will be able to see program details on your radio screen. This area of the screen could offer you a superior listening experience allowing you to easily determine the current song playing or even see what the topic of today's talk back program is.
Australia's capitals have been enjoying the luxuries of Digital Radio (DAB+) since late 2010. The video below shows just how much those living outside of the capital cities are missing out on.
So, what can we do to get DAB+ radio? Well we can petition the government by sending a letter to our local member of parliament. There's even website's setup already to urge the government to get the dice rolling sooner.
Visit We Want Digital Radio if you agree all Australian's should have free to air digital radio not just those in the 5 biggest cities.
If you agree,visit wewantdigitalradio.com.au and sign the petition.
