Energy wants to buy concession from Scaglione
Radio Energy Zürich, which operates without a license, wants to buy the license from its competitor, Radio Monte Carlo, in order to remain on the air via FM. According to a report in the Neue Züricher Zeitung, Ringier Radio is currently focusing on acquiring the station—which was scheduled to launch on FM in Zurich in the spring of 2010 and is owned by Giuseppe Scaglione. This comes after a temporary FM frequency—to be used until the switch to digital DAB+ technology—is likely to be blocked by competitors.
With Radio 105, however, Scaliogne already owns a station that, like Energy, is tailored to young people. According to Satnews.de, the station’s director did not, at least, deny the possible deal with Energy. He replied to the NZZ with: «No comment.».
