Re:Norway to become first country to switch off FM radio by Raphmedia on Friday January 06, 2017 @11:40AM (#13337713)
This makes a lot more sense. The article came off as a ban on FM. It's actually only that the state will no longer put money into FM radio and infrastructure.

Interesting cultural difference; I would never have it interpreted it like that. I did wonder whether the commercial stations would also leave FM. A large country like Norway is likely to have only state broadcasting in its more remote areas, but additionally commercial broadcasters in the more populated regions.

As far as I can tell the commercial stations are leading the way.
