Programme Identification (PI) is a service provided by [[radio station]]s [[transmit]]ting [[Radio Data System]] (RDS) data as part of the [[FM radio]] [[broadcast]].
The PI code allows the radio to display the name of the radio station - for example [[BBC Radio 1]].
RDS receivers [[decode]] the extra [[data]] contained within the [[FM radio]] [[Signal (electronics)|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]] titles, contact details (eg [[telephone number]]s) or the current time.
Line 10:
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.
