NBTC to roll out digital radio platform

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is gearing up to introduce a national digital radio and audio platform, aiming to fill the "radio broadcasting gap" and enhance automated emergency and disaster alerts across the country. This initiative complements the existing national digital TV broadcast streaming platform, indicating a broader strategy to modernize Thailand’s broadcasting infrastructure. The move is significant as it could improve the efficiency and reach of emergency communications, potentially saving lives during critical situations. The digital radio platform could also encourage a shift from traditional analog broadcasting to more advanced, reliable digital methods.
