Conclusion
Particularly for small online radio stations, alternative forms of revenue such as donations and sponsors are
important
Major online-only players are successful in marketing their own players or other individual business models /
customer relationships
A look at just FM providers reveals that ads currently provide 100% of financing, so paid content isn‟t a
feasible alternative to ad revenue, even in the coming years
