Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) says Good bye DAB

Posted on March 6, 2017 by Ashik in DXing | Leave a comment

Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) decided to cease DAB broadcasting from Honk Kong within next six months.

Here is the details from press Release.

The Chief Executive in Council, after considering the report of the Review of the Development of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in Hong Kong (the Review), decided on March 28, 2017 that DAB services should be discontinued in Hong Kong, and DAB services provided by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) be terminated within six months, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

A spokesman for the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau said, “In accordance with the market-led approach, DAB services were introduced in Hong Kong in 2010 to address the then local market interest in the development of the services and to cope with the trend of broadcasting technology development in the world.

“We have all along been maintaining this approach. The same approach is used in reaching the decision for discontinuance of the DAB services in Hong Kong.”

In response to local market interest and taking into account the development of DAB services overseas at the time, the Government granted licences in 2011 to three commercial operators. However, the retreat of the three commercial DAB operators in a short period of time due to difficulties in their operation and the lack of a critical mass of audience demonstrated the exhaustion of interest in the services. Currently, RTHK is the only operator providing DAB services as the public service broadcaster in Hong Kong, running a total of five DAB channels.

The Review of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK):

On the future of the DAB services provided by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), the Review pointed out that in the absence of participation of commercial operators, it would not be realistic from a policy perspective to rely solely on RTHK to operate alone on the DAB platform, or to task RTHK to develop a critical mass of audience on its own.

The Review also mentioned that the fast development of the Internet and mobile applications have replaced traditional sound broadcasting services to a certain extent. The wider environment is not conducive to a revival of the DAB market. Since the 1990s, there have been mixed results in the development of DAB services overseas. There has been stable development in some overseas countries, but there are also examples of termination of DAB services after launch.

Upon the decision of the termination of DAB services provided by RTHK, the Director of Broadcasting will consult the relevant stakeholders. Consultation will focus to formulate detailed plans for programming changes. So that Stakeholders can accommodate programs of RTHK’s DAB channels on its AM/FM analogue platform. RTHK continues to adhere to the programming objectives as stipulated in the Charter of RTHK. RTHK’s public purposes and mission as a public service broadcaster are properly fulfilled.

The spokesman said it is estimated that RTHK will be able to complete its programming change and terminate its DAB services in about six months’ time.
