The digital age of radio has also reached Radio Vinkovci, where preparations are underway for the introduction of a new technology called DAB + (digital audio broadcasting). This digital platform comes from the company “Transmitters and Communications” (OiV), from which they announced the broadcasting and reception of radio programs without interference, increased program selection and availability to a much larger number of listeners. The existing FM signal will not go out, but space is narrowed as there is no room for new broadcasters. The digital signal will allow new publishers to work, and existing ones to expand and modernise their content.
