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.
