Abstract
The advantages of digital broadcasting systems have become made possible due to the advances in related fields of knowledge, such as psychoacoustics, digital signal processing, digital audio data compression, noise-tolerant coding, anti-group error control, digital modulation techniques, etc.
Of all digital broadcasting systems, only DRM [1-5] and IBOC HD Radio [6] systems are recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R) for use in all frequency bands allocated for ground-based digital broadcasting or digital sound broadcasting (and these are the LF, MF, HF , VHF), which is their additional value.
A simple and effective method for developing a topology of a DRM broadcasting network in the low and medium frequency bands, based on the use of data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is considered. The method takes into account the required quality of audio content transmission and the actual distribution of maximum radio noise levels over the service area exceeded for 2% of the transmission time. To illustrate of the proposed method of building a network of digital broadcasting is made on the example of the territory of the Republic of Angola is given.

Keywords:digital broadcasting or digital sound broadcasting, digital broadcasting networks, building digital broadcasting networking, DRM, quality of audio content transmission, distribution of maximum radio noise levels territory the Republic of Angola, low (LF) and medium (MF) frequencies.
