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.

Yeah, everytime I encounter it I simply view it as QRM.

Who, and/or what is the biggest backer of DRM?

And Why?

Is this perhaps something akin to BPL? Are there a few $$ to be made?

It's now become a group of broadcasters wetting their pants over saved
electrical transmitting costs. Soon they will con the world into
thinking it's better. It's along the lines of Kerry's plans, hot air BS.

But this would also be valid for IBOC.
