Brazil’s Ministério das Comunicações (Ministry of Communications) has
accepted a request from the Abert broadcasters’ association to be able
to reduce broadcasting power during peak viewing hours to reduce cost

The economic crisis triggered by the pandemic (over 600,000 people have
died in the South American country) has brought many broadcasters to
their knees, and they have asked to reduce their transmission power in
order to cut operating costs. So the Ministry of Communications has
allowed radio and TV broadcasters to reduce their authorised watts by up
to 30% for six months, at times when the audience is less busy. The
president of the Brazilian Association of Broadcasters (Abert), Flávio
Lara Resende, was satisfied and said ‘by accepting the sector’s request,
the Mcom is showing itself sensitive to the moment of a financial crisis
that the private sector is going through, driven by the coronavirus
pandemic‘.

Markus Weidner, an editor since 1999 of the telecommunications site
teltarif.de, has published on his blog a report on the new car radios on
display at the IAA Mobility in Munich, the fair that replaces the
biennial Frankfurt Motor Show, overwhelmed (like the Geneva Motor Show)
by the pandemic. According to Markus, after having integrated the car
radio more and more into the car (making it difficult to replace with
third-party products), car manufacturers are now limiting its
functionality. In the most recent models, the receivers offer a list
that integrates FM and DAB stations, updated in the background. The
function is useful because it avoids searching and memorizing the
station, which can be recalled (more and more often) with a voice
command. Such an organized list is convenient for those who listen to
the most powerful radio stations, but it limits the choice: if the
signal is not strong enough or slightly interfered, or without RDS (in
FM there are still some) it is completely ignored. Weidner suggests an
expert mode that enables the old manual tuning in FM and DAB. Otherwise,
this “rationalization”, prevents you from freely choosing the radio of
your heart.

Da bin ich nicht ganz seiner Meinung.   Meiner Erfahrung nach werden
auch schon MUXE eingelesen, die an der "Zumutbarkeits-Grenze" für
normale Hörer liegen.
Für den normalen Autoradio-Nutzer ist der Komfort gestiegen.
- keine Frequenzen oder gar Kanäle der MUXE merken müssen
- automatischer SCAN im Hintergrund durch Zweit-Tuner
- automatischer Rückfall auf das gleiche Programm im UKW-Bereich, falls
DAB+ Versorgungslücken

Ich sehe hier keine Gefahr einer "Entmündigung" der Autoradio-Nutzer,
eher die der "Überforderung",  falls es diese Automatismen nicht geben
würde.
Mich nerven eher "Spurassistenten", die nach jeder "Zündung aus/an"
aktiv sind.....
