Live DRM SW transmission aimed at Southern Africa on July 19th on the
occasion of the SABA workshop.

The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium will use its strong presence at
this year's Southern African Broadcasting Association (SABA) Digital
Broadcasting Infrastructure and Platforms Event, during Mediatech (Africa's
biggest technology and trade show exhibition for the media and entertainment
industry) to demonstrate the possibilities of the DRM standard. During its
morning workshop on Friday 19th July DRM experts, representing well-known
Consortium members companies and organizations such as Ampegon, Fraunhofer
IIS, and Nautel, will make presentations and be available to answer any
questions.

To complement the workshop DRM is pleased to announce that it is planning a
live broadcast to South Africa which will be transmitted on 21460 kHz during
the Workshop. The two hour transmission will feature BBC programmes in
English and will be on air from 1000-1200 UT.

Ruxandra Obreja, DRM Chairperson, says: "This is an exciting opportunity for
delegates to not just hear about the technology but to listen to the
excellent audio quality that DRM can bring to radio lovers in Africa. DRM is
the only standard for all bands below and above 30 MHz that could offer so
much to listeners across the continent."
