2017 will see the end of FM Radio in Norway, as the European country has set a date for the switch-off of their FM radio stations.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Can’t they just use I *HEART* Radio? I hear it’s all the rage with the Internet Crowd.
Oh, wait...
Sweden, NL, other nannies will be right behind. Easy to control what goes thru a satellite
This is for terrestrial digital radio. It’s similar to when all the analog TV stations here were made to convert to digital broadcasts.
It’s Norway FM’s equivalent of the move to digital TV in the US. They’ll still be broadcasting, just in a different band. Not unlike the situation we had with converters for our TV’s, they’ll be putting converters on their car radios.
No static at all....
Well, at least there are some AM stations (mediumwave) and LW (longwave) stations left in Europe. This is a mistake since analog radio is easily receivable on a basic receiver. I can understand digital broadcasting foe TV but for radio and so on, radio is the lowest common denominator for getting information out there, sometimes I wonder if it is an effort for “The Powers That Be” to be able to control information. I think all of this is part of a modern day “Tower of Babel” where if you hit it at a few key points, it will all come down and chaos will ensue.
The girls don’t seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
No static at all.
what’s the point???
Long as they don’t mess with Art Bell reruns on AM .......:o)
