Even though DAB+ distibution and marketing has taken on some speed, there is no serious discussion yet to shut down the old FM technology. The main question is about the spread of DAB+ receivers compared to classic FM radios and the use of the internet for radio reception. Each technology offers advantages and disadvantages, and for radio operators it is also a question of costs whether all three transmission paths can be financed simultaneously. In Europe, Norway has already discontinued FM transmission. In Switzerland, the time is soon to come. In the UK, AM and FM radio will be be available until 2032. In Ireland, there are ongoing talks, but no fixed date for a switch-off.
