Commercial DAB services have been on air in four cities throughout China following governmental approval by SARFT, the Chinese regulator. As the host nation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China is keen to show the world how technologically advanced the country has become. Radio Beijing Corporation held a joint press conference with WorldDMB to kick-start the promotion of DAB in China, where over 180,000 devices have already been sold.

Radio Beijing Corporation has been the key industrial driver for the quick roll out of DAB in China and used the press conference to launch its DAB marketing campaign. International speakers at the press conference included Quentin Howard, President of WorldDMB and Nathalie Schwarz, Director of Radio from the UK’s leading commercial broadcaster Channel 4. Together with key DAB/DMB manufacturers, attendees were able to see first hand the range of interactivity offered by the technology as well as what will be on offer during the Olympic Games.
