Media diversity supports analogue and digital radio rollout Digital radio uses the DAB+ standard and is available in all capital cities (Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, Perth) and regional centres such as Mandurah, Australia uses the AAC+ codec provided with upgraded DAB+ standard. The ABC, SBS, commercial radio stations, and community radio stations in each market provide many of their services and a few digital-only services on the digital platform. Despite the ABC and SBS services extends into regional Australia on a separate multiplex (both on 9C, 206.352 MHz) providing the same services as in 8 capital cities, the Digital Radio Mondiale was exported to Australia, becoming the first digital radio technology in metropolitan, regional and remote Australia to have DRM simulcasts AM and FM services, when AM and FM services accept the DAB+ and DRM signals. According to this, the content licences of 63 ABC Radio stations, 7 SBS Radio stations, 261 commercial radio stations, 450+ community radio services, 2610+ narrowcast radio services and 80+ narrowband radio services would be increased as expands to be simulcasts in digital formats on both DAB+ and Digital Radio Mondiale services across all the licences in most regions.
