Norway is moving to DAB digital radio, as it is the standard of choice across Europe and beyond with over 500 million able to receive services. Norway was the first to set an FM switch-off date of 2020, with Switzerland following in 2020, while other countries like the UK are monitoring progress. DAB coverage exceeds FM coverage in Norway and continues to expand across the country as well as in tunnels. The technology is not outdated as development began in the 1980s and continues to evolve, providing benefits over FM such as more reliable emergency broadcasts. The transition has been extensively studied in Norway over 15 years and supported by government and industry.
