Kanal Plus built a digital community radio service using affordable open source software and hardware. They assembled a multiplex of neighboring community stations to share a single DAB+ transmitter, replacing over 40 FM transmitters at a total cost of 20,000 euros. This provided more than double the airtime of the original FM stations. Kanal Plus sees a future where local digital radio blocks are allocated for community radio to complement existing plans, using affordable non-single frequency network transmitters.
