This section is kept simple, with the only technical parameters listed being the channel (ie 6a), and the bit rate (giving an indication on the audio quality). You can find the specific frequency of the channel block in the appropriate menu on you DAB digital radio.
On recent visits to Malta, I have observed DAB+ transmissions on 6A and 6C, as well as some test services on 12A. Only details based on my observations are listed here.
The observations below are from 2017. I have more recent data which will be uploaded shorty.
