Norway Says Goodbye to FM Radio

Yesterday on NPR, I heard that Norway is getting rid of FM radio. By 2017, all radio in Norway will be digital. According to the Minister of Culture:

"Listeners will have access to more diverse and pluralistic radio content, and enjoy better sound quality and new functionality. Digitisation will also greatly improve the emergency preparedness system, facilitate increased competition and offer new opportunities for innovation and development," she said.
