About the book
Radio, the oldest form of electronic
broadcasting, has been described as the last
medium to go digital. Yet developments have been
underway for over twenty years to create new
technologies and digital platforms for the
transmission of radio in digital form. Drawing
upon extensive cross-national research conducted
by the Digital Radio Cultures in Europe research
group, this volume offers the first
comprehensive review of the complex environment
in which European digital radio now operates.
The title describes the technologies, policies
and different strategies utilized to bring radio into the digital era.
O?Neill and his co-editors present detailed
studies of the development of Digital Audio
Broadcasting (DAB), successes and failures in
digital radio implementation, and future
scenarios for radio in a fully converged media
environment. Essays address the fact that radio
now stands at a crossroads in its development,
and question whether the medium has a viable
future or whether it will converge with other
forms of multimedia and audiovisual media
services. Digital Radio in Europe provides an
accessible introduction for the student,
researcher and practitioner to the technologies
and policies for digital radio broadcasting in
both a European and global context.
