An OFDM subcarrier method and apparatus effectively reassigns subcarriers with respect to a data stream from a plurality of Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) services or programs to reduce selective effects (e.g., selective channel fading) of the transmission channel (e.g., an FM station) on some of the DAB services or programs but not on others. In one embodiment, a symbol reassignment encoder at the transmitter shuffles the data or symbols in the data stream from the DAB services to effectively reassign the subcarriers used by each of the DAB services. The reassignment spreads the selective effects of the transmission channel, e.g., channel fading, over a larger group of DAB services, to improve the robustness and quality of the overall transmission channel.
