In addition to a national digital TV broadcast streaming platform, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to develop a national digital radio and audio platform to bridge the "radio broadcasting gap" and promote automated emergency and disaster alerts nationwide.
According to AM Thanapant Raicharoen, the NBTC commissioner responsible for radio broadcasting, the goal is to create a centralised, credible audio platform for streaming radio programmes, alongside a sophisticated, automated emergency warning system to enhance public safety in the digital age.
