About FM multiplex broadcast
FM multiplex broadcast provides text and graphic data

normal radio broadcasts. It is transmitted by specific FM
broadcasting stations and the information cannot be
received using an ordinary radio. Some FM multiplex
broadcasts can be received free-of-charge, while others
may incur a subscription fee.
