Moving on to some positive news for those of you listening to us on AM. On October 20th, Czech Radio launched its first ever Digital Radio Mondiale, DRM, test transmission on the medium wave frequency 774 kHz. DRM is a new digital transmission system that can be used for long, medium, and short-wave bands. It supports audio quality that comes very close to FM standards. Czech Radio's test transmissions are expected to go on for about three weeks on the Czech Radio 6 channel, on which Radio Prague broadcasts its half hour programme every day.
