=== Europe ===
Commercial radio (re-)legalisation in most European countries occurred in this era, starting with United Kingdom in 1973 (see [[Independent Local Radio]]) and ending with Austria in 1995.<br />
In 1987, stations in the [[European Broadcasting Union]] began offering [[Radio Data System|Radio Data System (RDS)]], which provides written text information about programs that were being broadcast,  as well as traffic alerts, accurate time, and other teletext services.<ref name="Radio Data System">{{cite web |title=Radio Data System in the UK|publisher=radioandtelly.co.uk|url=http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/rds.html|access-date=2008-10-14}}</ref>
