AMSTERDAM�The Dutch public broadcasterNPOhas plans to expand its DAB+ offerings over the next four years.
�
Currently, NPO has 10 programs available via DAB+ including Radio 1, Radio 2, 3FM, Radio 4, Radio 5, Radio 6 Soul & Jazz, Alternative 3FM, Radio 1 Extra, FunX and Radio Top 2000. The plan is to eventually expand the number of programs to 15.
�
Earlier it was announced that the NPO transmitters would gain a power increase, but that has not happened as of yet.
�
Whether or not these plans can actually come to fruition is in question. NPO first needs permission from the Minister of Education, and it�s quite likely a consultation will be needed with commercial radio stations as well.� There�s no doubt that there will be complaints, according to Radio.nl.�
