We all know that we are living in a century of speed but also a century of information. Information is power, and while some people want to be well-informed others want their information to be reached as fast as possible.
Let’s compare two major options of fun, entertainment, and advertisement: opening a live FM radio program and opening an online FM radio program in India which is currently one of the fastest growing countries in the world of entertainment.
First of all, you need to have all the necessary documentation to both a radio station and an online radio station to prevent from getting into obstacles with the local authorities. Before opening your FM radio station, you need to choose your target audience. For example, will you broadcast Bollywood movies songs or hardcore rock or a combination of every genre?
When making a choice between the two options, you need to take the following into consideration. For a normal radio station, you must keep in mind the costs for rent, employees and the equipment you need to buy. For an online radio station, it is somewhat easier and cheaper to start. You will need less workers and equipment and a small space.
One of the advantages of having a radio station is advertisement. A live radio station can reach more people than an online station because of the coverage and the fact that more people have access to a radio device rather than an internet connected computer. This can potentially attract more money from the advertisers as your radio’s success builds up. It is more difficult to attract advertisers with an online radio station. On the internet most of the advertising is based on visual interaction, because it is easier to get to the everyday user this way. Another potential issue could be the fact that the online radio stations are not as popular and do not have the same success as radio stations that broadcast live. Therefore, potential advertisers will prefer to advertise with radio stations that advertise live, because they do not see the feasibility of advertising with an online radio station. Keep in mind that you must think like the advertiser: what is he looking for and what he expects. Then you need to verify if your advertising possibilities of advertising match his criteria?
Each option has their advantages and disadvantages. It is your choice if you want to do a live-broadcast of your old Bollywood movies songs or if you want to do an online broadcast of a small loop of playlists stored on your personal computer. The choice is yours. Making the right choice will depend more on how passionate you are about either option. Do not choose the option that you are less passionate about because your radio station will lack that extra boost that is needed to make it successful. But if you are passionate and totally committed to making your radio station work, then it will boost in no time providing a world of fun, entertainment, and advertisements to it audiences.
