The digital radio boom has opened doors for many. Yet, with this rapid expansion, caution is necessary. Many platforms are emerging, but not all are playing by the rules. Authenticity matters. Consumers need to know who they can trust when tuning in to their favorite online radio stations.
🎯 The Problem: Fake Call Letters and FM Pretenders
You’ve probably seen them. Stations brand themselves with flashy names like "HOT106," "Hot 97.7," or "Power 99." However, a quick check of your FM dial reveals that they aren’t actually there.
These operations fall short in several ways:
Use unauthorized call letters
Mimic real FM stations to appear credible
Mislead listeners who deserve transparency
This isn’t just harmless branding. It erodes trust across the entire online radio community. It makes it increasingly difficult for truly licensed and accountable platforms to shine.
☕ Where Some "Buy Me a Coffee" Stations Go Wrong
We respect the hustle. We believe in grassroots building. However, some crowdsourced stations adopting a "Buy Me a Coffee" approach cross the line:
They pretend to be official, licensed broadcasters.
They project an image of legitimacy without any regulatory standing.
They often pass off hobby projects as professional-grade media without informing listeners.
Some misuse "non-profit" status while actually operating a pay-for-play system. You can read more about this topic here.
Building a passion project is great. Misleading your audience is not.
