[Radio] AM/FM Radio Streaming

[user-removed]

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!

Add radio option  to spotify 

[Pug31]

I would love Spotify to create a radio station that competes with 6Music as that station has completely lost it's way. I believe there is a huge market out there for a station hosted by real DJ's that plays a good mix of old and new tunes and one that isn't afraid to play left field artists either. 6music still has good presenters on there like Lauren Laverne and Guy Garvey but they seem restricted in the music that they are able to play. There's such a wealth of material out there and I imagine Spotify are best place to make the most of that. People are crying out for a station that 6Music once was.

Cheers,
Chris.

We should have the ability to listen to local stations like listening to live races, sports, and even live talk shows.

What if we can have radio on spotify so that people who crave the old time of listening to radio can do that.

We can have something called as radio channel by which people can tune in on the different radio channels.

This feature will add a twist and peek interest of people for premium rather than just listening to those new drops or albums always.

I can provide mockups or a short concept doc if helpful—let me know!

With a new Radio tab, Spotify can host stations from around the world, such as CBN (Brazil), BBC Radio (UK), NPR (US) and KEXP (US). Stations can join the platform through an annual fee, with access to live streaming, on-demand shows and ad placement.

In addition to news and talk content from experts, journalists and commentators, the tab can also feature artist-led stations focused on music, pop culture and behind-the-scenes stories — offering a continuous and personalized listening experience.

This feature expands Spotify’s audio ecosystem, connects users with trusted voices and strengthens the platform’s role as a global hub for both live and on-demand sound.
