It is a complete and utter travesty perpetrated by politicians who were convinced by snake oil/electronics salesmen of the (highly dubious) superiority of DAB, and now have too much skin in the game to turn back.
Personally, I've been working lately on building an ESP8266/VS1053 based webradio into my nice old wooden 1960s radio. I'm using the variable plate capacitor for the AM tuner as input for channel selection, so for all the world it will look like a still-working FM tuner. Total BOM cost will be <$30.
- alkonaut 10y agoExactly. It nearly happened in neighboring Sweden, but luckily the plans were cancelled. I mean just imagine that the plans to scrap FM and go digital were made before mobile broadband, podcasts and streaming music. Before they would have sworn billions, every person and every car would already be streaming internet audio anyway. That's what will happen in norway.
