DRM in Asia-Pacific ___________________
Digital Radio Mondiale [DRM] broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific region is taking off down a different track than in Europe. One of the reasons is the use of point-to-point transmission for rebroadcast rather than direct to consumers. In the latest radio heritage documentary now on-line [www.rnzi.com], David Ricquish follows up on the recent DRM Symposium held in New Zealand with an overview of where and how digital radio is expected to develop around the Pacific in the near future. Simulcasting, new services from Australia and New Zealand, point-to-point, replacement for MW, potential power savings, emergence of longwave as a possible home for DRM in the region, and the critical importance of China are amongst the issues covered. The documentary includes live recordings made during the recent DRM test transmissions in New Zealand and technical comments from Andy Giefer of Germany's Deutsche Welle. Produced by the Radio Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net] in association with Radio New Zealand International, the doco is available on-line until Monday June 20. The script and a separate article on the April 2005 DRM Symposium will appear at www.radioheritage.net shortly.
