Any bets that Norway has so heavily regulated radio that practically no one wants to operate a radio station?
Bingo.
It’s a country of barely five million (slightly less than Alabama). For musical preferences, it’s basically old style pop or new style pop, and a little heavy metal. Talk radio that does exist is mostly NPR-lite and there simply isn’t a lot of Christian debate going on.
If you notice the trend....it’s not just Norway but the bulk of Europe that is slowly dropping FM for digital....better quality sound/reception, which no one argues about. I expect most US FM stations to retire by 2030 as we flip to mostly a digital format as well.
I don’t listen to AM or FM here in the USA either. But I do listen to a number of Podcasts ... :-) ...
I’ve been and lived in that country a few times and FM doe snot make much sense once you go further north than Bergan.
Hardly anyone there and the mountains stop the signal.
