DTV radio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital-television radio, DTV radio, or DTR describes the audio channels that are provided with a digital television service.[1] These channels are delivered by cable television, direct-broadcast satellite or digital terrestrial television.[2] In terms of variety, DTR falls somewhere between regular AM and FM radio, and satellite radio.[3][4][5] However, because it is delivered through a digital signal, the actual sound quality can exceed both.[6]
DTR may be available for free,[7][8] or as part of a subscription television service. DTR music and audio channels are often provided as part of the "basic" television subscription service or package.[9][10]
In a 2014 study, 11% of Americans listened to DTV radio on an average day,[11] with 5.2% of time spent listening to audio attributed to DTV Radio.[12]
