Digital radios are being stocked by leading electronics retailers and the ABC Shop online.It's not just the ABC that is available on digital radio. SBS, commercial and community broadcasters are also part of this digital evolution.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DIGITAL RADIO?
GREAT SOUND

BETTER RECEPTION
Digital radio offers interference-free,
digital-quality sound. The digital radio receiver locks onto the
strongest signal in your area to provide crystal clear reception
MORE CHOICE
As well as the existing stations 666 ABC
Canberra and ABC Radio National, the ABC is offering three new digital
radio stations - ABC Jazz, ABC Grandstand and triple j Unearthed.
EASY TUNING
No need to remember your favourite station's
frequency. You can tune by station name. Simply scroll through the list
of stations and with one touch, you're tuned and listening to your ABC.
PAUSE AND REWIND
Some digital radio receivers are able to
store the program you're listening to and let you pause and rewind the
program for a few minutes. It is also possible to store it for later
listening via a memory card. No need to miss the news, sports results or
weather. Just pause and rewind
ON SCREEN INFORMATION
Digital radios have small screens which can
display program-related information, such as 'now playing' details. In
Canberra this will only be available as text, due to the amount of
bandwidth available. News headlines, weather details, traffic updates
and so on can also be provided on-screen.
