Swedish parliament confirms rejection of DAB radio switchover

It is reported the Swedish Parliament has rejected the proposal for a
transition from FM to DAB+ digital radio

Digital Radio Insider says:

The Constitutional Standing Committee (KU) in Riksdagen (the
Parliament) has processed the government missive regarding the 2015
National Audit review of digital radio in which the proposal for a
transition from FM to DAB+ in 2017-2022 was rejected. After a short
debate and without objection from any of the eight political parties
Riksdagen today appended the missive to the protocol. This marks the
end of 24 years of efforts to replace FM with DAB in Sweden.

Already in June 2015 the Government took the decision to reject the
proposal for a digital transition for terrestrial radio. In November
this was piggy-backed in the budget proposal to the Parliament.

This vote in the committee did not come as a big surprise as there has
been an increasing skepticism in most parties against closing the FM
band.
