RTÉ interruptions while the station closes its DAB service

RTÉ Radio is announcing these days that it is carrying out technical work at its Three Rock transmitter and is advising people in the Dublin area served by Three Rock that there will be interruption to service and they should retune into the Kippure transmitter.

On April 1 RTÉ discontinued broadcasting on its DAB system.

This month German radio magazine Das Magazin has an editorial on the move over to DAB+. It points out how slow the changeover from FM to DAB is taking and says that all cars since the end of 2020 must be fitted with DAB radios.

What exactly is RTÉ doing by closing down its DAB transmission, which has been available for a number of years in the Dublin, Cork and Limerick areas?

And there has been little or no news coverage on this topic.
