Russian news agency ITAR-TASS notes that the Voice of Russia, now taking part in the initial phase of broadcasting in the DRM format, has become the first digital radio station in the country, broadcasting to Europe four hours a day in digital format.
VOR is using only one transmitter for digital broadcasts at present, but according to ITAR-TASS all others are expected to go digital in the very near future to cover all continents by the end of the year. Complete transition to digital should be completed by 2015.
