What happens when being the “local news hub” just isn’t realistic for your radio station? Maybe you don’t have the staff. Maybe a competitor already dominates that lane. Or maybe your format simply doesn’t fit daily news coverage. That doesn’t mean you have to step back from being a content leader—it means you need to get creative.
In this episode, we dive into practical strategies for building a content-rich station website without relying on traditional news. From becoming the go-to hub for local events, to leveraging personality-driven posts, to tapping into sports, community voices, and lifestyle content—there are plenty of ways to keep your audience engaged and loyal. We’ll also cover why generic RSS feeds from national sources are a dead end, and what truly unique, hyper-local content can do for your brand.
The bottom line? You don’t need to be “the news station” to win online. You just need to be the station that delivers content your community can’t get anywhere else.
