7 provinsmedier byder på FM4
Til november udløber Radio24syvs sendetilladelse, og licens skal derfor udbydes.
De syv mediehuse er udover Jysk Fynske Medier Herning Folkeblad, Skive Folkeblad, Sjællandske Medier, Lolland-Falsters Folketidende, Flensborg Avis og Radio ABC. Dermed lever sammenslutninger af medierne i høj grad op til de politiske intentioner om at placere radioen udenfor København og tilbyde et indhold, der dækker regionale og lokale interesser.
↓
Sammenslutningen vil også kigge på andre opgaver, skriver MediaWatch:
FM4-tilladelsen er hovedfokus her og nu for ny regional mediekonstellation, men kredsen afviser ikke at gå sammen om flere opgaver. Aarhus, Herning, Odense og Esbjerg nævnes blandt de byer, radioprojektet kan forankres i.

Agate allows users to pay publishers small amounts, for example 20p or 30p, per each article they read. However, online spending is capped at the equivalent value of the subscription for the same time period; for example, if a weekly subscription is £1, once the reader spent £1 in the same week, they can access content for free. The objective is to reward readers for engagement with the brand without locking them in to a subscription from the beginning.
