AM stations about to switch to FM
According to the TV news, president Dilma has signed a decree which enables
all Brazilian MW/AM stations to switch over to FM. As of January 1, 2014
the stations can apply for switching to FM.
Associação Brasileira de Rádios e Televisão believes that around 90% of the
1784 stations currently broadcasting on MW/AM in Brazil will be switching
over to FM. Initially, the stations will be able to broadcast both on AM/MW
and FM.
After five years the stations must decide whether to switch to FM
permanently or to continue on FM. They may also decide to stay on MW/AM and
are allowed to expand their prescence in this band.
Some of the motives for the decree is better audio quality and less
interference plus the fact that FM transmissions, contrary to AM/MW radio,
can be received on cellular phones.
Tough for AM/MW buffs, indeed!
