No doubt you sometimes listen, with or without a subscription, to a platform such as Deezer or Spotify. Are these platforms in competition with radio?
Young or old, like you, I listened to music on K7s, then I burned CDs to listen to rare artists, my favorite songs or an album I loved. Before that, the music was listened to on 45 or 33 rpm. While listening to music online is a new phenomenon, listening to music is not.
The medium that offers us the discovery of new artists and new songs, the voice of the host who accompanies us to work in the morning and who gives us the time, the 8 o’clock news that we do not want to miss for the world. . This is radio and it is only radio.
The weather forecast for the next day, our daily horoscope, Cyril Jamet’s joke. This is radio and it is only radio.
So, to conclude this series of columns on the occasion of the radio’s double anniversary, I would say to you: The radio we are not ready to turn it off and Happy birthday the radio!
