Future of the FM-radio

Analog FM-radio has been great success over the last 2-3 decades. How it is going to survive in the future? Number of radio stations is still raising in eastern Europe. Last release of famous European FM handbook 2002-2003 edition was amazing 760 pages long when editors finally give up. Editors of FMLIST try to continue their work. You can get some idea about the number and coverage of FM-radio stations from this world map build from FMLIST database.

So what is the answer? DAB-radio has gain little success in some countries but for me it is obvious that the future for FM-radio will be great and we FM-radio hobbyist will have many years of joy with our listening hobby.
