As of the end of 2024, the time has come: Switzerland will switch off the FM radio, and the classic FM radio will finally be replaced by DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting). Many have already heard it from the news or on the radio - the switch from FM to DAB+ is an important step into the digital future of the radio. But what does that mean for radio listeners? What are the advantages of DAB+? And how can you make sure that you can continue to hear radio from 2025? We all have answers-and in the end a great competition where you can win the latest DAB+devices!
Why does Switzerland position FM radio?
Switzerland is one of the first countries to completely change the radio transmission to DAB+. This change offers several advantages:
- Better sound quality: DAB+ provides a clearer and noise -free audio quality that goes far beyond what can offer FM.
- More selection selection: With DAB+ you can access many additional transmitters that were not available via FM.
- Fewer disorders: Compared to VHF, DAB+ is less susceptible to disorders, which enables better reception quality.
- Future security: The switch to digital transmissions enables radio providers to offer new functions, such as text information on the played song or real-time traffic reports.
What does that mean for you as a radio listener?
If you still have a FM radio, it will no longer work from the end of 2024. In order to continue to be able to hear your favorite channels, you need a device that supports DAB+. This can be a new DAB+radio or, for drivers, a DAB+receiver that can be easily connected to your car radio.
