Line 4:

RDS receivers [[decode]] the extra [[data]] contained within the [[FM radio]] [[signal]] to display extra [[information]] on [[compatible]] [[radio]] receivers.

This information could include the name of the station, information about the programme's output - eg [[song]] [[title]]stitles, contact details (eg [[telephone number]]s) or the current time.

In addition to this information which the listener can see, RDS also allows listeners to stay tuned to a network whilst travelling across the [[service area]] of multiple [[transmitter]]s. It also allows listeners to a particular network to benefit from cross-network travel news services, [[traffic]] flashes and for the flagging of travel-related programming.
