Switzerland: SRG SSR transition from FM to DAB+ on 31 December
02.01.2025 - SRG SSR WorldDAB Member - Switzerland
Radio is increasingly listened to via digital reception modes. Analogue broadcasting methods, such as FM, which have been in operation since 1952, are a thing of the past. DAB+ is the new international standard that is taking over from FM. In Switzerland, over 99% of the population already receives DAB+. The change in technology has been underway for several years, and sales of DAB+ radios are booming in Switzerland. DAB+ is now the new standard; remaining FM usage is stagnating at under 10%. SRG SSR has therefore decided to stop broadcasting its radio programmes via obsolete FM antennas from 31 December 2024.
