From pub garden pop-ups to shipping container stations, Londoners are falling back in love with FM (and DAB\/online\/smart speaker\/insert new mode of listening here). Tuning in has never been better, says Jessica Benjamin \u2014 antennae at the ready, it\u2019s time to meet our favourite local stations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Westside \u2014 Hanwell 89.6 FM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Broadcasting from Hanwell\u2019s Clocktower Mews to west London, Westside Radio was launched in 2007 by none other than Boris Johnson himself. \u2018He promised to come back to Westside if he was elected mayor on the condition that we would play songs by The Clash,\u2019 station manager Sone Palda tells me. \u2018All of this while he was surrounded by Labour MPs and councillors in the studio.\u2019 Big name politicians aside, Palda is both excited by and concerned for the future of local radio. \u2018In this era community radio is one of the key mediums producing genuine local content and news,\u2019 he says. \u2018Most of the local independent commercial stations are being bought up by the big groups, then being rebranded and losing their identity. We want to remain being a platform for emerging radio presenting and production talent, and to continue entertaining our dedicated local audience.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soho Radio \u2014 Soho<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2014 and broadcasting live from Broadwick Street, Soho Radio has serious clout when it comes to big name presenters. Think Primal Scream\u2019s Simone Marie Butler, Groove Armada\u2019s Tom Findlay, Jim Sclavunos of Nick Cave &amp; The Bad Seeds and Metronomy\u2019s Anna Prior to name a few \u2014 and they don\u2019t just stop at radio. \u2018We won Event of the Decade [in Time Out magazine] for our 12-hour street party broadcast with R3 Soundsystem,\u2019 station manager Rachael Bird says. \u2018We had some amazing DJs join us live on air, with the likes of Seth Troxler, Norman Jay, Artwork, Eats Everything and Sink the Pink gracing the decks. The day culminated with our very own lorry sound system pulling up in the streets of Soho to finish the street party with a bang \u2014 it didn\u2019t last long before it got shut down (whoops!) but was definitely a Soho Radio highlight and a day to remember.\u2019 The grassroots online station has since expanded to the Big Apple, where it has been streaming from Lower Manhattan since late 2020 for a double dose of Soho listening.

She started as an intern in the sports department when there were very few females in the industry. Benk\u00f6, who has worked at the organization for more than 30 years as a journalist and has held several managerial positions, provides insight into how Swedish Radio is navigating today\u2019s evolving landscape.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>RedTech: Is radio management a friendlier place for women than it was 10 years ago?<\/p>\n<p>Benk\u00f6: I\u2019m not sure that it\u2019s friendlier, but it\u2019s less lonesome. In Sweden, public service media has a long tradition of strong female CEOs, so that was nothing new. But when I started, I was one of the very few women in the international radio community. Thankfully, this is changing, and I believe the radio business is better having a multitude of different leaders in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>RedTech: Would you characterize the radio market in Sweden as very competitive?<\/p>\n<p>Benk\u00f6: I believe it\u2019s competitive in a healthy way \u2014 the Swedish people are a listening population. For example, more than 50% in the ages 18\u201379 listen to podcasts regularly. The competition for \u201cSwedish Ears\u201d is enormous \u2014 print media is expanding into the field of audio, and we shouldn\u2019t forget that Spotify\u2019s headquarters are in Sweden. That said, I strongly believe in a robust dual system: A strong public service media side by side with a prosperous commercial market brings the best possible outcome for the audience. It\u2019s also important to remember that the Swedish media market is not very Swedish anymore. We are all competitors in a global and digital market that is constantly growing and changing. We must all adjust and be aware of that.<\/p>\n<p>RedTech: Is Swedish Radio entirely taxpayer-funded? How does that affect how you think about audiences versus the way private radio operators do?<\/p>\n<p>Benk\u00f6: Swedish Radio is funded by a public service fee. Since Jan. 1, 2019, everyone over 18 pays this tax, which is earmarked for public service media only. So, the Swedish people essentially own Swedish Radio. I believe the best outcome for the audience and democracy is strong public service companies working alongside a healthy commercial market \u2014 research also shows this.

The immense majority of these cash-strapped radio stations have stopped broadcasting because of the threat.<br \/>\nIn a decree issued yesterday, the communication ministry warned radio station owners they could face a sentence of up to three years in prison if they are not up to date with their licence fee payments of 250,000 CFA francs (380 euros) a year. Only 12 of the country\u2019s privately-owned and community radio stations have been able to pay the fee.<\/p>\n<p>The government already issued an order on 7 April to radio stations to stop broadcasting if they had not paid the fee. Bombolom FM, an opposition station, suspended broadcasting in response to this earlier warning. The cost of a licence if very high for Guinea-Bissau\u2019s radio stations, which earn very little and are not subsidised by the state, unlike the print media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis measure is particularly outrageous given the very difficult economic environment in which the media operate and, above all, the government\u2019s failure to implement sustainable support strategies for the media,\u201d said Sadibou Marong, the director of RSF\u2019s West Africa bureau. \u201cIn the current \u2013 very troubled \u2013 political context, it is hard not to regard these threats as being designed to keep the media under control. We ask the authorities to reconsider this decision and to favour dialogue if they don\u2019t want it to be seen as nothing more than an attempt to silence critics.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/news\/guinea-bissau-radio-station-owners-threatened-jail-not-paying-licence-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue reading at RSF&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong><em>Do you enjoy the SWLing Post?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Please consider supporting us via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=7466002&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fswling.com%2Fblog%2F&amp;utm_medium=widget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u%3D7466002%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fswling.com%252Fblog%252F%26utm_medium%3Dwidget&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEe7C7aRTKqwuFkU5YIo8XEqPqthw\"><span class=\"il\">Patreon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=TGGFP2XVZDPP2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd%3D_s-xclick%26hosted_button_id%3DTGGFP2XVZDPP2&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH45maBgVLGpqLmQQvviVKBNMEGUw\"><span class=\"il\">Coffee<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Fund<\/span><\/a>! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Your support makes articles like this one possible.
