Scaglione submits second license application

 The heated battle for radio licenses in the canton of Zurich is coming to a head. On Wednesday, the last possible day to submit license applications, Radio 105 operator Giuseppe Scaglione pulled a second concept paper out of his sleeve following his submission with RMC Züri. As already hinted to Werbewoche a few days ago, the experienced radio man is now also applying for a license in the Zurich area with a project based on the concept of his cable station Radio 105. However, Scaglione is not aiming for the same license as with RMC Züri with this station, which is to be called 105züri and is intended to appeal to a target group of 15 to 40-year-olds with an above-average interest in new music and new trends. This time, the Basel radio entrepreneur, who has been successfully running the 105 station for almost ten years, is aiming for a license for the Zurich-Glarus region. 105züri will focus on new releases and Swiss productions, according to a press release. The proportion of new releases should be at least 90 percent. Songs that are more than six months old will not be played at all. In addition, 50 percent of the music program will be compiled directly by the listeners themselves via the Internet. In addition, listeners can upload their own songs and vote for them to be included in the station's playlist.
