Radio takes on the tech giants
Commercial radio goes ad-free, and presenters go it alone.
One of the UK鈥檚 commercial radio groups is launching ad-free versions of their stations for a monthly fee. Is this radio鈥檚 secret weapon to defeat Spotify and the streaming services? Or should more presenters follow Iain Lee's lead and swap network radio for digital platforms? Plus, an Ofcom report shows the new dominance of TikTok and the music streaming platforms.
Guests: Paul Keenan, President of Audio at Bauer; Iain Lee and Katherine Boyle, presenters of The Late Night Alternative; Yih-Choung Teh, Strategy and Research Director at Ofcom; Madhumita Murgia, European Tech Correspondent at the Financial Times.
Studio engineer: Giles Aspen
Producer: Hannah Sander
Presenter: Datshiane Navanayagam
