As the media landscape grows ever more complex, broadcast radio's unique strengths - universal reach, trusted content, resilience in a crisis - have never mattered more. With the EU's Digital Networks Act now in the legislative process, the decisions being made today will determine whether broadcast radio remains guaranteed in every new vehicle sold in Europe. This session makes the case for DAB+ investment and examines what the policy environment must deliver. Essential for broadcast CTOs, network operators and media regulators with a stake in the outcome.
