Norway go be the first country in the world to comot from FM radio

This year, FM stations go begin to phase off in  parts of the Norway from next week and the shutdown process will be complete by the end year, according to wetin government yarn.

 

Norway dey switch from FM to digital radio -- called DAB -- because the digital option offers more channels, better audio quality and savings for broadcasters.

 "The main reason that Norway is the first is because of the Norwegian landscape, which has deep fjords, high mountains and scattered communities. This makes it particularly expensive to operate the Norwegian FM networks compared with other countries” the government said in a statement.

The government don  estimates that radio stations go save more than 200 million kroner ($23.5 million) a year by ditching FM, allowing them to invest further in radio content.

 

It doesn't expect any jobs will be directly affected by the shutdown as stations will switch to broadcasting via DAB.
