Abstract

Pioneer in taking the first steps in the digital environment, the radio has broken into the network reinforcing its sound identity. The objective of this research is to identify and characterize the online radio in Spain. To this end, a database of online media has been created in which the number of online stations, platforms, territorial scope, ownership, content, use of social networks, funding channels and the languages used are identified. The study shows that online radio in Spain is reinforced, and this happens mostly in the local area and with generalist content, while the financing model remains a pending task.
