For the first time in its history, the Basel-based youth and culture station Radio X is presenting its listener figures: The station records over 33,000 listeners every day. The advertising-free station, which was launched in 1998, told SDA that it was satisfied with the figures collected by Publica Data. As Radio X is also listened to in neighboring countries and by migrants not included in the survey, the station estimates a total of 40,000 listeners per day. Either way, the good use of both the daytime program and the evening special shows is now confirmed, as the station commented on the figures.
Radio X gets its program up and running with a budget of just under 700,000 francs per year, one third of which is covered by fee splitting from the federal government, contributions to special programs and sponsorship and donations. The program, which comprises around 140 broadcasts, is produced by 140 volunteer broadcasters and around 20 people who are responsible for IT and audio - only eight people receive a fixed salary. In addition, the radio station offers ten to twelve internships each year and trains two commercial apprentices.
