Norway Ends All Radio Transmission In The Entire Country by ElTommyBlaq(m): 11:08am On Jan 09, 2017 |
http://primebaze.gq Norway to become first country to end FM radio Norway is set to become the first nation to start switching off its FM radio network, in a risky and unpopular leap to digital technology that will be closely watched by other countries considering whether to follow suit. Critics say the government is rushing the move and that many people may miss emergency warnings, which have until now been broadcast via the radio, as a result. They have also expressed concern over the 2 million cars on Norway’s roads that are not equipped with Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) receivers. Sixty-six per cent of Norwegians oppose switching off FM, with just 17 per cent in favour and the rest undecided, according to an opinion poll published by the daily Dagbladet last month. Nevertheless, parliament gave the final go-ahead for the move last month, swayed by the fact that digital networks can carry more radio channels. Switzerland plans a similar shift from 2020, and Britain and Denmark are among those also considering such a switch. A smooth transition to DAB, which is already beamed across Norway, could encourage these countries to also move ahead. The shutdown of the FM (Frequency Modulation) network, introduced in the 1950s, will begin in the northern city of Bodoe on January 11th. By the end of the year, all national FM broadcasts will be closed in favour of DAB, which backers say will carry less hiss and clearer sound for listeners in the large nation cut by fjords and mountains. “We’re the first country to switch off FM, but there are several countries going in the same direction,” said Ole Joergen Torvmark, head of Digital Radio Norway, which is owned by national broadcasters NRK and P4.
