Shortwave radio - new USA DRM group meets in Washington and elects leaders
Tuesday, June 01, 2004
A coalition of more than 20 broadcasters, network providers and manufacturers interested in implementing Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) transmissions in the US held its first meeting on May 6th at the headquarters of Radio Free Asia (RFA) in Washington. The group elected Jeff White, who recently finished his term as President of the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters, as its Chairman. It also chose Mike Adams of Far East Broadcasting Company to lead its International Broadcasters team, and Adil Mina of DRS Broadcast Technology (formerly Continental Electronics) to lead its Transmitter Manufacturers team. RFA's Technical Operations Division is a DRM Supporter. The meeting included a presentation by DRM Commercial Committee Chairman Michel Penneroux of TDF, who outlined DRM's global implementation plans. The USA DRM Group is the latest of DRM's national coalitions. DRM has assembled alliances of broadcasters, network operators, regulators, manufacturers and retailers in key markets worldwide, in preparation for DRM's commercial launch. "Now is the time for US based broadcasters, as well as international broadcasters who want to reach US audiences, to get actively involved in DRM implementation," said Jeff White. "Broadcasts from DRM Members BBC World Service, CBC/Radio Canada International, Deutsche Welle, Radio Netherlands, Radio Sweden and Vatican Radio are already available in the US, as well as those of China Radio International and Radio Kuwait." DRM's Live Broadcasts Schedule is at www.drm.org. Those interested in participating in the USA DRM Group may contact Jeff White at . # posted by Andy @ 18:40 UTC Comment (0) | Trackback (0) (Media Network) |

DRM needs inexpensive, good quality, widely available receivers if it's backers want it to get out of it's niche. Of course, the most important thing for the popularity of SW is popular programming. It's too bad Air America isn't on SW. Frank Dresser |

It's too bad Air America isn't on SW. It seems as though they can barely afford to be on MW. But I'm sure that they are seriously working on obtaining public funds. |

I can ****ing read, thank-you.
What criteria was used to determine the order and inclusion on the list? Some of those people's audiences would fit in a high-school auditorium.
