Huge potential

A new web radio channel is on-the-air in Spain. The target audience is huge, more than 6 million people. Corporate radio producer Grupo S4 Media has launched XFin to serve the unemployed.

“On this station you will find employers and employees but the work goes beyond mere supply and demand to extend to legal advice and even counseling for people who are unemployed,” said morning DJ Oscar Montero, quoted by El Mundo (June 3). The station in on-the-air 24 hours a day, 6 hours being live. It is, he said, “the first station whose function is to disappear.”

“We’ve been there and know what it takes,” said DJ Mireia Faura. A portion of ad sales is being donated to social agencies supporting people out of work. After each tune played on the station a job offer is announced. When a person finds a job, she said, “it will be big news.” Station DJs take to the streets the first Monday of each month to be “closer to the people.” (JMH)
