An introduction to RDS

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.
