For the first time, digital terrestrial radio, or DAB+, will be tested for nine months in the French overseas territories.
The French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication, Arcom, has authorized a trial involving the diffusion of a multiplex of ten services from three sites in Martinique, from January 1 to September 30, 2023.
In its 2022-2024 roadmap for the continued rollout of DAB+, Arcom has indicated that it will give priority to authorizing trials in overseas France, so that players and the public can familiarize themselves with DAB+ diffusion, while declaring its readiness to continue the planning model prior to any calls for bids in these territories, in the light of the results of the trials.
DAB+ radio stations in Martinique
Services to be shown from the start of the DAB+ trial in overseas France:

What is DAB+?
DAB+ radio (Digital Audio Broadcasting, the "+" corresponds to a development in the worldwide digital terrestrial radio (DTR) diffusion norms) complements FM diffusion, whose frequency band is now saturated.
Digital terrestrial radio or DAB+ is gradually being rolled out in France. Every year, new transmitters are put into service to ensure ever-finer coverage of the country.
