Digital Radio is the coined name for the "New" generation of Radio broadcast; however, it should be noted that the technology has existed for years prior to its intial popularity with the inception of such well-known Satellite radio companies such as Sirius or XM.
Note: Digital Radio does not have to originate from a satellite.
Digital Radio has significant upgrades from the "Old" generation of Radio that used propogated terrestiral radio signals to trasmit a message called Analog Radio.
These upgrades include primarily better sound quality.
Unlike it's predecessor a more complicated computer is required to decode these digital signals and convert them into Audio; however, because of this Digital signals can hold more data than the old Analog Signals, allowing for more information such as Song Name date, and legtnh, to be processed simultaneously with the signal.
Note: One drawback of digital radio is that if the signal becomes corrupted or blocked by too many barriers like thick concrete the signal will simply be cut out, unlike in analogue radio where you would still hear part of the broadcast with more static noise and distortion.
