Digitisation of the radio and television distribution networks in Switzerland is proceeding apace. OFCOM is currently conducting a survey to determine demand for further DAB coverage in Switzerland.

Some radio stations continue to broadcast on FM. Detailed information on the individual coverage areas, frequencies, technical specifications and the future VHF strategy can be found here.

Anyone who provides radio and television programme services via cable in Switzerland is obliged to broadcast certain programme services. These so-called must-carry provisions apply primarily to digital broadcasting and to a limited extent to analogue broadcasting.
