Littoral Média, broadcaster and DRM supporter, located in Saint-Gouéno, north west France, has finished its test broadcast in DRM mode on 1593 kHz AM. The test period ran from 21st February to 30th June and a test report is currently being finalised which will provide an in-depth examination of reception for the DRM Medium Wave signal in urban, suburban and rural environments. This report will be sent to the CSA (Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel), the French media regulator and other organisations and key players in the French radio market.

The DRM Consortium welcomes the trials undertaken by Littoral Média and its commitment to DRM at the time when digital radio is becoming a reality in France. For more information, please visitwww.littoralam.fr or email Nathalie Villalon n.villalon@littoralam.fr .
