Norway is Going to Kill FM Radio in 2017. Kill. It. Dead.

April 16, 2015 Alan Cross 0 Comments

Get ready, Norway. Your favourite FM radio station will go dark in 2017 when you move to Digital Audio Broadcasting.

The changeover from FM radio to DAB will start in Norway on January 11, 2017 and conclude in December, the Norwegian government announced Wednesday. Norway follows UK in digital radio switchover.

Can this happen in North America?

Criteria needs to be met.
