View WebcastModern car radios offer broadcasters significant opporunities for improving how their stations look on the dash. Knowing this, NAB commissioned a project designed to help radio broadcasters better understand the way broadcast radio stations are displayed on automobile dashboards. We analyzed the current state of broadcast station dashboard identification and developed a best practices guide that radio companies can adopt. The goal is for broadcast radio to embrace a more unified display style that will achieve a positive, consistent user experience for drivers and passengers. To accomplish this, the industry will need a high level of collaboration between management/ownership, programmers, digital managers and engineers.
