Bayerischer Rundfunk will enhance their regional radio distribution network with the deployment of IDC-s Stereo FM Demodulator, the SFD-TR FM rebroadcast receiver, to distribute news, cultural and entertainment content to audiences throughout the German province of Bavaria.

The ARD is the world-s second largest public broadcaster after the BBC, and its constituent broadcasting institutions operate 54 regional and local radio stations and seven regional TV networks.
