Digital Radio Update - March 2011

The Digital Radio trial in Canberra has seen some recent improvements, including a boosting of transmission power. This means, most existing coverage areas have stronger signals, and those areas previously out of the coverage area, or with weak reception, should be experiencing an improvement.

 

You're also now in the company of Parliament House. All members of Parliament, including Senators have been given a Digital Radio to experience the features and quality, first hand.

2CA is pleased to announce our first innovations with our Digital Broadcast.

In response to your feedback, one of the most requested features is 'now playing' song info. Your digital radio now displays this information on the screen of your digital radio. Go and take a look. If your digital radio has a larger screen, you'll even see the album art for each song, along with a slideshow of other images.

This is only the beginning. Soon, you'll see live data on the screen including local weather, news headlines and traffic information for Canberra.

We'd appreciate any feedback you have. Simply fill out the contact form on this page.
