Peter Senger remains chair of DRM

DRM Director at Deutsche Welle confirmed for another two year office at  
the head of the consortium Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)

At the annual meeting of the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) consortium in  
Istanbul, Peter Senger, Director of DRM at Deutsche Welle, was re-elected  
as chair of the steering board for another two years. The international  
consortium led the development of the digital DRM standard for long,  
medium and shortwave radio (AM range) to market readiness and plans to do  
the same for FM radio in coming years. The organization’s members include  
the world’s most important radio broadcasters, organizations and  
institutions from research and development, the electronics industry and  
network operators. Peter Senger has headed the consortium, which has  
approx. 100 members from over 30 nations, since its founding in 1998.

DW Director-General Erik Bettermann sees Senger’s re-election as a  
confirmation of DW’s successful commitment within the consortium. “The  
digitalization of shortwave radio opens up vast opportunities for Deutsche  
Welle. We will continue to be present and active at the forefront of this  
development and take further advantage of these opportunities,” said  
Bettermann.

The DRM transmission system improves sound in the AM range to near FM  
quality while eliminating the disadvantages of analogue reception such as  
fading, noise and interference. Digitalization makes operation of  
receivers far simpler and it enables the additional parallel transmission  
of text, images or permanent information channels.

At the annual meeting, the launch of serial production of DRM radios for  
the mass market was announced.
