-No, most people simply stopped listening to radio in their cars, or bought DAB adapters which rebroadcast the DAB channel you wish to listen to on an FM frequency.

A lucky few with cars old enough to have a standard DIN car stereo bracket simply popped out the FM radio and dropped in a DAB replacement.

But, essentially, radio listening in both car and home dropped off a cliff.

Edit: The Great FM Kill-Off was a double whammy as they simultaneously stopped broadcasting DAB using the MPEG2/L1 codex and switched to DAB+' HE-AAC.

This made sense, technologically - sound quality of low bitrate MPEG2 is not impressive - but the result was that most early adopters of DAB had to purchase new receivers yet again as early DAB sets did not support DAB+.

Further, leading up to the FM shutdown all the focus was on FM=>DAB, not DAB=>DAB+ - so during the switch, three of my four DAB radios went the way of the dodo bird without me even having realized it was going to happen. I wasn't very motivated to buy new receivers yet again...

I got an option to switch to DAB+ from my (previous) dealership but I just don't see the point. It's much better just to use mobile broadband and stream whatever you want using your phone + bluetooth.

My new car has DAB+ but it also has tunein and spotify built-in so that's a much better option.

FM isn't dead yet here in Norway though you can still listen to local stations via FM and it looks like the license for them will be extended to 2031.
