Questions and answers on the FM partial switch-off

30.05.2025 - Germany Germany

On 24 June 2025, MDR will permanently switch off selected FM frequencies. This will happen in the early hours of the morning. As a modern multimedia house, MDR has digitised the entire production and distribution chain in recent years and made it fit for the future. Only FM broadcasting is still analogue. For many years, MDR's radio programmes have been broadcast in parallel in analogue and digital form in order to offer listeners a long-term opportunity to switch to digital radio reception. This parallel broadcasting of analogue FM and digital DAB+ is designed for a long-term, albeit limited, period. Starting early in the morning of June 24, 2025, selected low-power FM frequencies will no longer be receivable at 11 locations in Central Germany.
