The Future of Radio Broadcasting


Radio has been a huge part of our lives over the last century and advancements in technology will forever change the way we listen to radio. The future of radio is in Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB. DAB radios use a digital signal to provide excellent sound quality, and a wide range of stations and programs to listen to. There are many advantages to listening to DAB radio compared to analog radio. Tuning to a new station is easier as it is much like changing the channel on a TV and all stations show their names so you know what station you’re listening to. Have you ever heard a new song on the radio, but did not hear the DJ mention the artist or name of a song? Well, some stations actually broadcast the artist and name of the song being played on your radio. DAB radios can also be portable radios that look like MP3 players, but smaller in size and can be transported outside while working in the yard or garage. In the very near future, handheld DAB radios will be able to show image slideshows just like on TV. Listeners will be able to view the artist, album covers, advertising, and other information. Radio technology has given us better sound quality, convenience, and a more enjoyable listening experience.
