During the 1980s the a European research project was created called the DAB standard. This allowed people in Europe to research and carry out examinations on digital audio broadcasting. On the 1st June 1995 the Norwegian Broadcasting corporation launched the first ever DAB radio channel in the world. In September 1995 the BBC and SR launched their first digital broadcast. Throughout the late nineties DAB receivers started to crop up across many countries in Europe.
