E584 • Oct 13, 2026 • 7 mins

Nautel is extending its VX Series to 10 kilowatts with the new VX8 and VX10 analog FM transmitters, due to ship in the first quarter of 2027. Marguerite Clark examines their modular, service-friendly design. Also covered: why great radio requires daily choices, Marktest’s finding that 63% of people aged 15 and older in mainland Portugal listen to music online, and Radio TechCon’s bursary offering free tickets plus travel and accommodation aid.

Key Points

  • Broadcasters are being urged to harden their networks and streaming operations against disruption, with monitoring and disaster preparedness framed as essential parts of service reliability.
  • Nautel and WorldCast Systems are expanding compact FM transmitter options to higher power levels, emphasizing modular design, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership.
  • Digital audio listening continues to grow, with online music usage especially strong in Portugal and new industry appointments and bursary initiatives highlighting ongoing change across broadcast technology.
