Social Media Retiring Radio Stations

description: Do you think that there will come a time when people will stop listening to radio stations because they can get music or information through social media? This is a big possibility, the question for me is when will this happen?

description: You're right about that. Radio stations might even evolve as they can become available online with internet connections getting faster. I heard that 5G is on its way to replacing 4G, but that will happen a few years more.

This is a big possibility, the question for me is when will this happen? I still enjoy listening to radio stations, particularly when I am driving. When driving you can't fiddle about with controls, so listening to a good station helps to pass the time. If you are in the car on your own, then the banter of the DJ provides a bit of company.

description: What I'm imagining right now is a radio station operated by regular folks with the use of live streaming through social media. We don't need a studio or a sophisticated equipment to broadcast because we can do it through live streaming.

We don't need a studio or a sophisticated equipment to broadcast because we can do it through live streaming. I agree with you. Growing up, we got used to radio and not getting to see the faces behind the voices. Most radio stations now either stream their live content and/or have a YouTube channel and that changes the whole script.

Royalties will be a problem with streaming the music of artists. However, the authority that regulates or controls the playing of music for commercial use can create a license for radio freelancers to have in order to play that music.
