Non-Corporate
Radio
Welcome to Non-Corporate
Radio, real people broadcasting to real people. For some
years now the Big Corporations have held radio in a
stranglehold intent on milking as much profit from it as
they can. This has meant restricted playlists, cheap
programming and the removal of creativity and personal
integrity. Radio in the modern age has become a collection
of dumbed down, cloned, bland radio stations.
The Corporations are buying out many local stations with
the intent on getting national coverage for their
advertising so they can make even larger profits and employ
less people due to networking their programs. This also
reduces the local content in each area to a minimum, all in
the cause of “Globalisation” and a fast profit.
Non-Corporate Radio on the other hand is not driven by the
profit margin. It is driven by creativity and a love of
radio not greed, by those who understand that radio is an
art form. Non-Corporate Radio is not anti business, it
costs money to run a radio station and the more successful
it is, the more money it costs to keep going.
What defines Non-Corporate Radio is that the commercial
aspect supports the creativity, it does not control it.
This gives the Program Controllers/Presenters the freedom
to be creative and to explore different avenues of
expression bringing new and varied music to the listeners.
By supporting Non-Corporate Radio Stations, spreading the
word and helping promote those stations who are trying to
wrest back control of radio from Board Rooms and
Accountants. You can take a stand against the demise of
radio as we knew it and help put individuality back into
radio again.
