Hybrid Radio uses existing FM or HD broadcasts as a robust and reliable way to deliver audio, but presents them like an app, by using additional meta-data (such as logos and descriptions) delivered over an IP connection (WiFi, 3G, LTE). This all happens automatically and without any user intervention... This “agree on technology, compete on content” sentiment means we can harness the collective energy and resources of the global radio industry to help reinvent broadcast radio as a genuine and powerful competitor to streaming services.
If radio doesn't do it, then the likes of Spotify, Apple, Pandora, Google, Microsoft and any number of other groups are likely to do it anyway. "Targeting" and "big data" are the buzzwords du jour and radio has to keep up. In commercial radio, we need to continue to provide advertisers with what they want... It would seem a shame to miss that particular train. I for one don't want to.
If you’ve got a smartphone, or a modern DAB/FM radio, chances are it can connect to the internet on 3G or wifi. This lets your smartphone also check your emails, and your modern radio listen to internet radio streams. But what it doesn’t let you do is find out more about the station you’re listening to. At least, until now. (Read that in a dramatic voice and let the tension sink in a little. Done? Then let us proceed!)

Experts from nine member organisations in as many countries have contributed to the EBU first-ever forecasts about the year ahead for radio. It provides a series of snapshots of the current situation in nine countries from the perspective of public service radio, as a springboard for predictions about where the medium will be in 2013.

With hybrid radio, your radio is getting cleverer. From additional visuals in the kitchen to cars that never lose the signal of your station, we look at the future of how your radio looks: and discover broadcasters who are doing hybrid radio now on a variety of devices.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has launched a campaign for all new radios and mobile devices to be fitted with a ‘Euro-Chip’, which will give Digital Radio vital impetus and a surer future in Europe.Euro-Chip integrates the main radio standards, such as digital (DAB/DAB+/DMB) and analogue (FM), into one universal radio receiver, overcoming incompatibilities and bringing important benefits to broadcasters, manufacturers and consumers.
Where would modern radio stations be without the Internet? As online increasingly becomes part of everyday life, this is becoming a key question for many broadcasters, aspiring to utilize this relatively new platform to their best advantage. Today even the smallest radio stations have developed their own Web presence. Some have even managed successfully to monetize the “long tail” of additional listening and interaction that results. However, despite investment in websites and online audio content, a fundamental problem remains: how to link the online world with real-time broadcasting, which for the vast majority of listeners remains their core platform and one that has thus far tended to remain stubbornly offline. Largely disconnected from the Internet in all its various forms, traditional radio has difficulty in taking advantage of the various interactivity and other benefits the online world can offer — and which audiences increasingly have come to expect. RadioDNS is targeting these issues.

The next 12 months will confirm that radio has a digital hybrid future. The view is expressed in a collection of essays published today by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) New Radio Group. The 'Digital Radio in 2012' document also draws a clear distinction between the world of broadcast and broadband radio. It predicts specific roles will emerge for digital terrestrial broadcasting (DTR) technologies such as DAB+, and internet streaming platforms, during what is set to be an eventful year for Europe's digital radio project.
