also had a broadband network which can bring digital television and radio channels to every household. DVB-T reception On 28 May 2006, transmission of analogue television signals to Rodgau from the Großer Feldberg and Würzberg Transmitters ended. Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) took over broadcasting over the area the next day. Since then Rodgau has lain in the broadcast areas of the Großer Feldberg and Frankfurt Transmitters. Reception of the broadcast television signal has been forecast throughout the town according to whether a mere indoor antenna will be enough to receive it or a simple outdoor antenna. The map at the side shows the areas in which each kind of antenna should be used. Radio Owing to the proximity to the economic metropolis of Frankfurt, Rodgau lies within the reporting area of the following radio stations: Hessischer Rundfunk 1-4 as well as youfm and hr-info Hitradio FFH (Bad Vilbel) Radio Primavera (Aschaffenburg) Radio Fortuna (Heusenstamm) Since August 2008, the local radio station K.C.-Radio in the Rodgau constituent community of Jügesheim has been on the air. Development Given each constituent community's original village structure, their natural centres each lay around the church. This was so even after the merger into the greater community in 1977, except for Nieder-Roden.

Here, under planning by the Baugilde Süd (“Building Guild South”) also arose in the late 1960s several developments of compact dwellings with up to twelve floors. Most striking in today's skyline is the development known locally as the Chinamauer (“China Wall”), a roughly 300 m-long block of maisonette flats. The original plan called for the development to be 900 m long, but this never came about. Despite the town's neverending growth, it has no hospital. The nearest one is found in Seligenstadt. Carefully laying out new building developments since 1979 has on the one hand made possible the population growth that has led to the current levels, but on the other hand it has also led to the establishment of the needed social infrastructure such as kindergartens, schools, and sport and leisure facilities. Although the town has slowly been growing together, as yet there is no
