Comment on End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s a tricky industry I think.
We’re seeing about a 4% year on year decline in FM listeners if I remember correctly. Advertisers like metrics that radio can’t deliver. Spotify and YouTube are the main winners.
I still run a volunteer run community station and we’re able to break even, but with power bills over $1,000 a month plus insurances and other fees, it’s not so easy. We’re still having fun though :)

It’s really, really hard to get a licence to broadcast in the uk, so there’s really very few radio stations that reflect modern music tastes outside of large city centres

I still listen to radio, however its almost all online radio.
Modern Pop, 2000’s Pop, 90’s Pop, 80’s Pop, just really don’t interest me or anyone else in my family, however its the vast majority of the radio.
Soma FM for me.

I listen to Radio Fip from France, that’s pretty fantastic
