Conference on digitalization predicts "world-wide renaissance of
radio" Text of press release by Deutsche Welle on 21 October

"Digital short-wave will revolutionize cross-border broadcasts and
will initiate a world-wide renaissance of radio." This was the
opinion of the director general of Deutsche Welle, Mr Erik
Bettermann, during a panel discussion at Munchner Medientage. Mr
Bettermann, the head of the German international broadcaster - and
instigator of the event - was not the only one to present an
optimistic prediction of a "digital global radio" development: The
other panel specialists also emphasized the advantages of
digitalization in the so-called AM range, i.e. short, medium and
long-wave.

The discussion was chaired by Peter Senger, director of
distribution at Deutsche Welle and chairman of the Digital Radio
Mondiale (DRM) Consortium; and next to Erik Bettermann, BBC
representative Mike Cronk, Dan D'Aversa of RTL Group and Phil Laven
of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) were also participating in
the debate.

Basically this amounts to repeat lies and hype often enough and they
become true.

DRM = QRM

Yes but DRM does not offer an overall improvement in reception either.
You are just trading some advantages for other detriments because its a
different system and it costs more money. DRM is not even a wash
compared to analog it a step backward. This a good example of clueless
idiots trying to palm it off as something better.
