[Radio] AM/FM Radio Streaming

A suggestion like this has already been marked inactive, but I do believe that Spotify can be made a more complete service by incorporating AM and FM radio channel streaming. If it would be possible to add stations in to the radio feature, perhaps separating stations into two categories, live radio and Spotify radio, then Spotify would truly become the chosen one, giving users access to virtually every legal music listening service on the market. Listeners could use the feature for new popular music, news, and talk entertainment. Similar to the way the feature currently works, listeners could save their favorite stations, and browse through lists organized by genre, location, or amplitude/frequency. Feedback from people familiar with the way that radio stations would react to third-party streaming would be particularly appreciated to solve the business end of this proposal. Let's get this second attempt at implementing a good feature a shot at getting off the ground!

Hey @Rhuidel thanks for bringing your idea to the Spotify Idea Exchange. We don't have any plans to add AM/FM Radio options to Spotify at this time. We're going to mark this idea as 'Not Right Now', but it's still open for votes and feedback. If we have any updates on this we'll post here again, thanks!

Apple Music now offers AM, FM & .com radios live, so maybe it is time for Spotify to rethink it's "Not Now" attidue.

Don't you want to keep your subscribers captive in-app?

You are buying podcast creators left and right, how about partnering with myTunerRadio, TuneIn and Radio.com (and other streaming url aggregators) to offer old school (former over the air) radio within Spotify mobile, apple TV, and web?  If Spotify wants to keep us IN-ecosystem, NOW IS THE TIME to add this not-so-difficult Spotify-branded tab. 

C'mon continue being my favorite music app by becoming my favorite radio app. I bet thousands others would big-time-LIKE, it ain't fun to be switching apps for all our audio needs. For your branding and other reasons (your consumers) this is time to dust off this idea from your backburner.  Spotifan: TechGuerrero.me

Rather than AM/FM streaming, what about creating a platform for creators? So small companies could create Online Radio Stations.

A great idea !  Any sort of news /talk channel would be great .

Throughout the day, I switch from my own Playlist, to the daily mix, to podcasts, and then to Live FM radio. Specifically I like to listen to the news radio, such as Bloomberg. I would love if the live FM radio was integrated into Spotify, so I didnt have to have 2 separate apps on my phone, or open up a separate browser tab every time I wanted to switch over to the radio. It would be a great feature to implement!

I agree with the suggestion
