Norway is set to become the first country in the world to switch off its FM radio network.
The Scandinavian country’s parliament has approved a proposal to shift to Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB).
The shutdown of FM (frequency modulation) radio will begin on January 11, 2017 from the northern city of Bodoe.
Norwegian government claims that Radio digitization will help to save money and allow national radio stations to invest more in radio content.
It will also open the door to a far greater range of radio channels, benefiting listeners across the country.
