NBTC prioritises digital radio shift

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is pushing for the transition of analogue radio stations to digital radio from 2025, aiming to improve service standards and help stakeholders handle digital disruption.

The move is also an effort to deal with 3,500 community radio stations that have been operating on a trial basis with the NBTC's permission. The regulator has repeatedly extended the trial period, now slated to expire in December 2024. The regulator said it does not plan to switch off the analogue system in 2024.
