The Norwegian Media Authority has granted 21st Venture A/S, a South-African company which runs commercial radio Radio Metro i Oslo and other cities 25.340 euro for development of DRM+. Radio Metro will broadcast DRM+ on a FM frequency in Trondheim Spring 2013. Broadcasts will coordinate with the Annual Conference of the Norwegian Local Radio Association May 24-26.
According to an earlier political
decision public service and the nationwide commercial radio networks will have to
leave FM for DAB 2017. But most local radio stations (commercial or community
radio), today broadcasting in 141 different local concession areas, will be
able to continue on FM also after 2017.
