[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Sorry, that ship has sailed. Far too many commercials or commercial like content on even local radio. It’s just not worth listening to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dhorse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I am a DJ on a local non commercial radio station. All music all the time. We do have show promos (i.e listen to face metal on Friday from 4pm to 6pm with your host dj sparkles) but no underwriting so we aren't shilling for a Corp at the top of every hour either. If you are on lemmy you should be looking at what your local stations are doing to try to empower the local community. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hightrix@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Thank you for this. As my comment said, I’ve completely written off radio as viable. I’ll take a look into local stations again to see if there’s anything around me similar to what you are describing. permalink fedilink source parent
