Toyota DAB
DAB continues to become a standard across the world with Toyota announcing it’s new Prius will include a DAB/FM radio in the standard spec.
This follows Ford’s announcement last year that DAB will be a standard in their Kuga Titanium range. DAB is already a popular option with most other UK car manafacturers.
For domestic radios it is getting harder and harder to buy a radio that does not have DAB as standard. As well as UK highstreet brands based here like Currys, Dixons etc Irish owned electronics stores such as Power City have begun stocking radios with DAB.
It reminds me of when I was a kid in the late 70s when most radios had a thing called an “FM” button which never got used because there was nothing on it. Along came Radio Nova 88FM and everything changed overnight. Within ten years FM was the predominant band, so much so, that the IRTC (BCI of the day) decided to use FM exclusively for Irelands new independent commerical radio network.
History has a habit of repeating itself.
