Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

An introduction to RDS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM radio
stations to provide listeners with various kinds of
information—the name of the station and the kind of show
they're broadcasting, for example.
One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of program.
For example, you can search for a station that's broadcasting
a show with the program type, JAZZ.
You can search the following program types:
NEWS – News
AFFAIRS – Current Affairs
INFO – General Information
SPORT – Sport
EDUCATE – Educational
DRAMA – Radio plays, etc.
CULTURE – National or
regional culture, theater, etc.

corresponding channel number will lit for about 8
seconds, and then the station name will remain it.
• If you want to listen to the same program type of another
