DRM for Education: Global Demonstrations
DRM partners are also planning for the first time global demonstration broadcasts on shortwave across five continents and, also, for the first time in DRM FM!
Thus, the DRM Southern Africa (DRM SA) Group will officially launch a DRM in FM demonstration and showcase distance learning content on Friday, 13 February 2026, coinciding with UNESCO World Radio Day. The demonstration part of DRM’s global partnership with UNESCO in support of World Radio Day. The DRM in FM demonstration, the first of its kind using educational content, will consist of a live digital radio signal broadcast from a high site in Northcliff, Johannesburg, operating at 70 watts transmitter output power on 91.25 MHz. Multiple radio services will be carried simultaneously on a single FM frequency, including Radio Pulpit, Hot 102.7, amongst others.

We would welcome reception reports from listeners and partners, including audio recordings, photos, or short videos documenting the reception of DRM educational broadcasts. Please send any material to projectoffice@drm.org.
A selection of the best contributions will be mentioned on the DRM communication channels.
