Opening your own radio station is an interesting and in some cases lucrative idea. The radio station is one of the most inexpensive media outlets.
You can open a radio station if you have savings, the amount of which is about 50 thousand dollars. But first, decide: why do you need your own radio station? Sometimes people dream of starting their own radio in order to form a good public opinion about themselves (this statement often applies to politicians and public figures). Sometimes founders create a radio station just for their own pleasure. But in most cases, radio companies are still created to make a profit, while being ordinary business projects. In order to become the owner of your own radio station, you first need to register this mass media, and it is advisable to entrust this procedure to a competent lawyer - this way you will save both time and nerves. After registration, it is better to make the editorial office of the radio station an independent business entity, therefore, open a separate bank account. To open a radio station, you need free broadcasting frequencies in the region where you plan to start your activities. If they are, you are required to apply for a broadcasting license. At the same time, it is necessary to take care of the arrangement of the radio studio - it can be built, bought or rented. You will definitely need a high-quality transmitter, a full-fledged staff, and antenna systems. Also, try to conclude advertising contracts with local entrepreneurs before going on air - then part of the money invested will be immediately compensated. If you cannot immediately fill the entire air with music and programs of your own production, conclude an agreement with any radio company, which will give you permission to rebroadcast their programs. Ideally, the costs should pay off after six months of work on the air.
