Am I reading this right: the UK government is making an organized effort to kill AM and FM radio stations, to free up their spectrum for... what exactly?



Not only in the UK. Norway too, and probably some other European countries. No more national wide FM stations in Norway (it's still possible to have a local FM station - for how long I don't know). There's some worthless talk about re-using the spectrum for 5G or whatever. So now there's DAB. I don't listen to radio anymore.


" to free up their spectrum for... what exactly?"

Whatever/whoever comes with the most amount of £££. Same old, same old.
