I love my radios, i really, really love my radios. They are spread all through my appartment and turned on all the time. And they are all tuned in on the same station: 92,6, P3.
This great, public youth-radiostation has almost monopolized the FM-area, and almost every person under 30 listens to P3.
But at this moment a new media-settlement is being discussed. In their eagerness to promote commercial radiostations, which have all been going bankrupt, one of the suggestions is to commercialize P3!!
I can only say that I'm horrified. The reason everybody listens to P3 is that it is actualy good. As a atter of fact this radiostation is the only success the public media cooperation DR can present. So why fix what wasn't broken in the first place?
The fear is that since DR is funded by the state, and hence taxpayed, it is favored compared to commercial news services since every service from DR is free. So no advertisement in the middle of a movie, free online news and so on.
I do see the problem but riuning the only well-functioning part of this enterprise serves no one. Least of all the listeners who by the way are also taxpayers.
