What is DAB/DBR?

DAB(Digital Audio Broadcast), also known as “DBR” Digital Broadcast Radio, is a newer more modern way of delivering music and other programming to you like FM or AM on your house or car radio.

What makes DAB different from FM & AM? The superior sound quality you hear from a digital signal is one difference. But more importantly… DAB radio broadcasts can be global and received by people almost anywhere in the world! Unlike the mostly corporate controlled FM & AM frequencies in your local area… DAB radio stations on the contrary do not limit your music choices to only a few watered down mainstream radio genres(top40, crossover country, Rap Hip Hop, classic rock/blues, or talk radio).

There are tens of thousands of DAB Radio channels broadcasting/streaming hundreds of non-mainstream music genres some of you have wished for and some that you may have never known existed. As an example, there are millions of people worldwide who are huge fans of a modern day, non-mainstream music genre, influenced by Miami Vice and 1980s style music and movies called “Synthwave”. No major city or smaller city I know of has a local radio station spinning Synthwave music. But you will find Synthwave on the internet and on a DAB radio channel such as KSWV-db Radio Shockwave!

This huge difference alone means more amazing non-mainstream music, styles & entertainment choices than ever before!
