Re: [IRCA] Norway to end FM broadcasting by 2017

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

According the Hakan, the NRK stuff is going to the DAB band and the private stations are still going to be using FM for at least a while. But the handwriting is on the wall, so to speak as phasing out FM is being discussed, In Norther America, radio will still be around for decades, but I would guess not as many stations. I have a wifi radio and the radio is amazing. I can listen to radio is nearly every country in the world. A lot of the European radio is FM only, but it still is very enjoyable. I can pick a country, city, and then go up or down the dial like I live there with local signals. Fun stuff.
