Brainstorming!

Brainstorming;
Group discussion about radio… Always, everywhere.

We were discussing when and where most people listen to radio. The most common places are while driving, in the grocery store, at cafes, at work, at the gym, barbershop and in big malls. Usually people might listen to it without knowing, and realizing it when their favorite song is playing. We realized that there is no diversity with radio channels in Finland. We do not have many of them, and the ones we have play the same music all the time. We have different channels for rock, classic, commercial and groovy music, but they keep on playing the same songs every day. They also have a lot of advertisement which is really annoying to most of the people. This is why most people prefer to stream and buy music from Spotify or iTunes instead.

We were thinking that there should be more good radio channels and a lot more genres. Instead of only playing Rock music, one channel could play 80’s rock, one the latest rock songs, and same thing with other genres. For example one channel for dance music, one for techno, one for funk and one for rap. This way people would have more channels to choose from and would not get bored with the same songs and could find new artist as well. We were also thinking about having a radio channel for children, playing their favorite music from movies and TV-shows, storytelling hours and different games.
