[grc] Simulcast DRM / Analogue

[Tom Voorhees]

Could DRM / analogue simulcast be a opportunity for community radio with so
many smaller AM stations for sale? Commercial stations can be converted to
non-profits.

NEW DELHI: A total of 35 medium wave transmitters have been replaced by
Digital Radio Mondiale transmitters in the country. 

Parliament was informed on Tuesday that these include 13 MW transmitters
providing coverage to border areas. 

Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore
said that some of the transmitters installed in our border districts may
provide coverage to areas across the border. 

DRM transmitters installed by All India Radio are capable of broadcast in
analogue or digital or simulcast mode (both analogue and digital mode
simultaneously). 

Presently, these transmitters are functioning in simulcast mode (analogue
and digital mode) and both types of listeners having analogue and digital
DRM receivers are capable to receive AIR programmes broadcast from DRM
transmitters, he added.
