Analog FM radio is hardly associated with the future. Norway has phased it out and only distributes via DAB.OK, that is two different stories: one about the way some stations record, and another about the limits to FM technology. As for the latter, I have given up on FM. On balance, I think internet radio often offers a sound quality that is at least as good as FM, if not better, although the imperfections are different from those on FM. So the benefit of an almost infinite number of international stations are too large to ignore. And of course, the bit rate will only go up in future.
In the car we now have DAB+, and that is undeniably better than FM on a car radio, and better than the BT stream from our phones.
It was close that we did the same in Sweden, but there was a discussion about the possibility of sending out information in emergencies to the public. Thus, the introduction of DAB radio fell.
