Klassik Radio: The digital pioneer will switch off FM in Bavaria in 2026

20.05.2025 - Top story - Germany Germany

Klassik Radio is implementing one of the final steps in its digitisation strategy and will bid farewell to FM in Bavaria from 2026. The programme will remain available nationwide via DAB+, via app and web streaming as well as via cable and satellite. Back in 2012, the audio company was the first radio station in Germany to launch this consistently digital approach, which has so far seen over 30 FM frequencies switched off. These voluntary returns are considered a ‘milestone in the digitalisation of radio in Germany’, says Ulrich Kubak, founder and CEO of Klassik Radio. ‘With the current expiry of FM frequency allocations in Bavaria, our home state of Bavaria is finally becoming a pure digital location. That suits Bavaria, that suits us,’ Kubak continues.
