Vision Christian Radio has secured DAB+ Digital Radio in Sydney and Melbourne!
This has been another answer to prayer that will allow Vision to reach a potential 10 million souls in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia’s two major cities.
DAB+ Radio has been around a lot longer than you think. Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) has revolutionised the way we listen to radio. With its superior sound quality and interference-free transmissions, it has become the preferred choice for many listeners around the world. But what exactly is DAB+ Radio, and how does it differ from traditional FM or AM radio?
What is DAB+ Radio?
DAB+ Radio is an advanced digital radio technology that allows broadcasters to offer their popular analogue stations in digital quality. It is a cost-effective and spectrum-efficient technology that offers superior sound quality and more space for additional radio stations. With DAB+ Radio, you can enjoy crystal-clear audio without any interference or static.
How Does DAB+ Radio Work?
DAB+ Radio works by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analogue signals used in traditional FM or AM radio. These signals are compressed into smaller packets, allowing more information to be transmitted over the airwaves. This means that broadcasters can offer more radio stations at a better audio quality than FM or AM.
DAB+ Radios automatically tune into available radio stations, and information such as song titles, artist names, and news headlines are displayed on the screen. Some models even allow you to pause, rewind or record live broadcasts.
Vehicles With DAB+ Radio
Since 2011, more than 4.4 million vehicles have been fitted with DAB+ Radio.

DAB+ Radio is currently available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra and Mandurah. Click the link to check whether you have DAB+ Radio coverage in your area.
