Luxembourg Launches Nationwide Digital Radio Network (DRN)

Luxembourg has officially entered the digital radio era with the launch of its first nationwide DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) network on 1 December 2025. The event, held at the headquarters of Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), was attended by Minister Elisabeth Margue, who oversees Media and Connectivity, alongside representatives from various national radio services.

The rollout of DAB+ follows a structured roadmap initiated in 2020, which included extensive technical trials and regulatory preparations. The project aims to provide listeners with higher-quality audio, more reliable coverage across the country, and a greater diversity of radio programming. Full network completion is scheduled by June 2026, ensuring all regions of Luxembourg will benefit from digital radio services.

The government has also launched a public awareness campaign, including the website dabplus, to support citizens during the transition from traditional analog FM radio to digital broadcasting. This initiative is expected to foster media pluralism and open opportunities for new radio stations, enhancing Luxembourg’s audio media landscape.

The launch of DAB+ marks a significant technological advancement for Luxembourg’s broadcasting sector, aligning it with broader European trends and offering residents a modern, high-quality radio experience.
