Green light for the gradual migration from FM to DAB+
Bern, 25.10.2017 - Usage of digital radio outstripped that of FM back in spring 2016. FM can therefore be gradually phased out, beginning in 2020 as scheduled. On 25 October 2017, the Federal Council adopted a partial revision of the provisions governing radio and telecommunications in order to facilitate this migration. It also decided that the current radio licences should be extended.
