Digital radio (DAB)

DAB or the successor standard DAB + is broadcast in vertical polarization and in single-frequency mode with other transmitters.

The nationwide multiplex has been broadcast digitally on channel 5C via the Wesel station since December 14, 2015.

Previously, the multiplex radio for NRW with the programs of the WDR and the Domradio with a power of 1 kW ERP was transmitted from this location. On August 29, 2012, this multiplex changed from DAB channel 12D to DAB channel 11D. Due to an increase in performance at the neighboring Kleve station , the broadcast of this package on the Wesel station was discontinued in December 2013.
