Radio

Kaldus will support FM radio frequencies which is divided into 200khz increments and range from 88Mhz – 108Mhz. Each county can have their own set of radio stations. Obviously, radio signals are based on distance, and not county lines. With that being said, to reduce interference with neighboring counties, all radio antennas will be towards the center of the county. No matter what, 88.1FM is reserved for the national radio system. This station will have a number of DJs that would play various genres of music based on their personal interest. The idea is to create a variety of music for the listener to enjoy. If there are local weather instances that requires the listener’s attention, then it would play over the radio at every 30 minute increments.

Every radio station will have a 5 character call sign. This call sign will always start with R, and will receive their own sub-domain (https://call-sign.fm.ka). This will promote them without having to worry about getting a special address. They can choose to acquire their own domain for their internet site. They can then set the above address to forward to their domain. They are responsible for acquiring their own domain, and pay for their own hosting if they choose the domain option.

Radio stations will need to integrate with the Kaldus Radio app. This is one reason why a unique call-sign is so important. The listener will enter the call-sign, and select the station. This is a requirement, as terrestrial services will allow the subscriber to listen to the station they wish to. Unlike television, radio OTA radio will not be depreciated. 88.1 will remain as the national radio station which is a public safety issue, and not an entertainment issue.
