Peter Senger remains chair of DRM:
(07April 2006)

DRM Director at Deutsche Welle confirmed for another two year office at the 
head of the consortium Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM).
At the annual meeting of the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) consortium in 
Istanbul, Peter Senger, Director of DRM at Deutsche Welle, was re-elected 
as chair of the steering board for another two years. The international 
consortium led the development of the digital DRM standard for long, medium 
and shortwave radio (AM range) to market readiness and plans to do the same 
for FM radio in coming years. The organization's members include the 
world's most important radio broadcasters, organizations and institutions 
from research and development, the electronics industry and network 
operators. Peter Senger has headed the consortium, which has approx. 100 
members from over 30 nations, since its founding in 1998.
DW Director-General Erik Bettermann sees Senger's re-election as a 
confirmation of DW's successful commitment within the consortium. "The 
digitalization of shortwave radio opens up vast opportunities for Deutsche 
Welle. We will continue to be present and active at the forefront of this 
development and take further advantage of these opportunities," said 
Bettermann.
The DRM transmission system improves sound in the AM range to near FM 
quality while eliminating the disadvantages of analogue reception such as 
fading, noise and interference. Digitalization makes operation of receivers 
far simpler and it enables the additional parallel transmission of text, 
images or permanent information channels.
At the annual meeting, the launch of serial production of DRM radios for 
the mass market was announced.
