WorldDAB launched a campaign on Sept. 1 to encourage broadcasters to use their visual assets to keep digital radio prominent in car dashboards.
With the support of its Automotive User Experience (UX) Group members, WorldDAB says the campaign highlights the “important role visual information now plays in providing a positive digital radio experience for drivers.” It also informs broadcasters on how to use information they already have in the form of metadata to provide a richer experience for the driver.
Metadata enables the visual information, text and graphics (e.g. station name and logo, presenter, song title and album artwork) to be displayed on the dashboard, while a specific station is playing. It also encourages the development of a good hybrid radio user experience, explains WorldDAB.

“As car dashboard screens get even bigger, radio station metadata will be even more important to power a rich user experience. It is vital that broadcasters prioritise metadata for car manufacturers to ensure their station information is clearly and correctly shown on dashboards.”
To support the campaign, WorldDAB has produced the following resources to help broadcasters:
WorldDAB says the campaign is part its “ongoing work to “improve the user experience of digital radio in the car.”
With the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) directive mandating digital radio in all new cars across Europe from Dec. 21, the organization urges broadcasters to prioritize the visual as well as listening experience of digital radio in the car.
