Connect to the source.
The process of removing FM broadcasting stations started in 2015. From Wednesday morning all state-owned national radio stations began broadcasting exclusively via the DAB digital broadcasting system (Digital Audio Broadcasting). Some local stations will continue to broadcast on FM until 2022. Overall there are 26 stations broadcasting via DAB/DAB+ . The world's first DAB radio station started broadcasting from Norway on 1995. According to a Guardian investigation, the cost of running an FM broadcasting station costs eight times more than digital broadcasting in Norway. The survey also showed that approx 70% of Norwegians already listens to digital radio . Although switching to a digital signal is financially beneficial, the Norwegians themselves do not seem thrilled by the decision. Once it 17% of Norwegians agrees with the abolition of FM, reports a Reuters investigation, while around 2 millions of citizens (according to a Norwegian politician) they don't have a digital radio in their car. For the time being, Norway leads the race in switching to a digital radio broadcast signal, with Switzerland planning a complete phase-out of FM by 2020. Similar moves to digitize the broadcast signal are also taking place in Great Britain and Denmark, although a complete abolition of FM has not yet been decided.

Overall, eight are the victims of the flu since last December, when the viruses of the disease began to circulate.
