FMradiokanaal

FMradiokanaal is a fictional FM radio channel created for educational purposes in broadcasting studies. It does not correspond to a real station and is used in coursework, case studies, and simulations to illustrate typical operations of a contemporary radio broadcaster.

In the imagined setting, FMradiokanaal operates as a general‑interest station serving an urban region and its surroundings. It would typically broadcast in the European FM band and use stereo audio with occasional RDS data to display the station name and program information. The profile includes a mix of music formats (pop, rock, and international hits), brief news updates, weather and traffic reports, and audience interaction segments such as call‑ins or social media requests.

Ownership and funding: a privately held company in the fictional Media Syndicate, funded by advertising and sponsorship within the simulation; editorial policy is described in the course materials to illustrate conflicts of interest handling.

Programming and schedule: weekday blocks, morning, daytime, evening with a rotating music playlist and live presenters; student involvement is common in most simulations.

History: introduced in 2009 in broadcasting textbooks; first classroom broadcast in 2010; now used across teaching labs.

Online presence: in simulations, streams and archives are used within educational software; there is no real online stream.
