Five sections
Where everything lives
The site divides five ways: the dated switch-offs, the platforms that took the listening, the money, the signal chain, and the companies. Every piece sits in exactly one of them.
The Switchovers
Country-by-country FM shutdowns and DAB+ migrations, each pinned to the political decision that made it happen.
7 piecesListening
The platforms and devices where radio is actually heard now — aggregators, public-broadcaster apps, smart speakers, and the car dashboard fight.
7 piecesThe Money
Royalty frameworks, per-stream rates, the terrestrial exemption, and how community radio is licensed and funded.
7 piecesThe Signal
Codecs, bitrates, transmission chains, loudness standards, and the physical infrastructure a broadcast depends on.
5 piecesThe Groups
The commercial groups and public broadcasters whose corporate and regulatory histories shaped the landscape.
