[[Digital radio]] broadcasting has emerged, first in [[Europe]] (the [[United Kingdom|UK]] in 1995 and [[Germany]] in 1999), and later in the United States, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, and many other countries worldwide. The simplest system is named DAB Digital Radio, for [[Digital Audio Broadcasting]], and uses the [[public domain]] [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|EUREKA 147]] (Band III) system. DAB is used mainly in the UK and South Africa. Germany and the Netherlands use the DAB and DAB+ systems, and France uses the L-Band system of DAB Digital Radio.

The broadcasting regulators of the United States and Canada have chosen to use [[HD radio]], an [[in-band on-channel]] system that puts digital broadcasts at frequencies adjacent to the analog broadcast. HD Radio is owned by a [[consortium]] of private companies that is called [[iBiquity]]. An international [[non-profit]] consortium [[Digital Radio Mondiale]] (DRM), has introduced the [[public domain]] DRM system, which is used by a relatively small number of broadcasters worldwide.
