Swiss radio to use HD Radio

The rollout of the european digital radio system DAB+ continues in Switzerland, but there are also plans for the competing technology HD Radio.

A second DAB+ multiplex with eight commercial and four public stations was recently launched in Zürich and will eventually be heard across the German-speaking regions of Switzerland.

Local and regional commercial radio will also have the option to use digital FM technologies such as HD Radio, according to new rules to be introduced by the Swiss government. At an HD Radio conference in Lucerne, plans were announced for a September 2010 launch of HD Radio in Switzerland, with a final decision set to April.
