#2026-188RTL frequency authorization updated for Dax
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision updates the technical details for RTL’s FM broadcast authorization in Dax. It replaces the schedule attached to the earlier authorization with a new frequency plan for the same service, including the site location, antenna height, power limit, and directional radiation limits. The main practical effect is for RTL France Radio, which must operate the Dax transmitter under the revised technical parameters and still complete international coordination procedures if needed. This is a narrow operational change, not a change in the station’s overall license type.
