i am a new s7 user and look for the fm radio function. It appears that Samsung enables the FM RADIO function for US s7 users https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=/amp/s/www.technobuffalo.com/2016/09/02/verizon-update-brings-fm-radio-to-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge/amp/&ved=0ahUKEwissOiRwuDTAhXCPCYKHSVCBnwQFghJMAk&usg=AFQjCNGWrCnOMcqPTlKwGQUJi-BILo4H3w&sig2=r0DPuLRzDjPK1LNTo_qP1Q

it should provide the same for Canadian users as well so that we don't have to pay expensive data to listen stream radio.

These fm radio features appear to be locked on the carrier side, they would need to okay it and verizon seems to be the only carrier in US who's enabled it for some reason or another

I agree too. It's the carriers that are responsible. I don't think they should be able. In an emergency without data... everyone having an FM radio would be great.

I don't think so it's carrier related,I use to have Nokia phones and by default I was able to use fm radio but look like Samsung block FM transmitter In Canada might be part of CRTC or some government regulatory agencies.
