In a press release, the radio station Swiss Music Radio is looking for a buyer or partner. The background to this is that the radio station did not receive the digital radio license (DAB+) it had applied for. Swiss Music Radio had applied for the license together with Radio Sunshine and planned to expand its programming on DAB+ with the help of this partner.
According to Swiss Music Radio, the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) justified its decision to reject the application by citing the lack of contribution to increasing the attractiveness of DAB technology. According to the department, innovation, originality and market stimulation played a decisive role in the granting of the license.
Swiss Music Radio does not intend to contest the Uvek's decision. As the planned cooperation with Radio Sunshine will not materialize, Swiss Music Radio is now looking for a new partner or buyer. According to the communiqué, the continued operation of the station in its current form is guaranteed until at least the end of 2008.
