History
SRG SSR shut down its FM transmission infrastructure on 31 December 2024. The corporation concluded that maintaining FM broadcasts along with DAB+ and Internet streaming was no longer cost-effective, as due to widespread adoption of DAB+ the share of the public relying exclusively on FM was under ten percent and decreasing. This was to be followed by a general switch-off of FM broadcasting by 31 December 2026. In December 2025, however, the Swiss parliament decided to indefinitely postpone the full switch-off. SRG SSR will thus restart its FM transmissions, though a concrete timeframe for doing so has not been named.
