01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

Beacon Online Radio is a subsidiary of Beacon Media and Communication Services which is a technologically driven firm with expertise in Advertising, Branding, Consulting, Media, and Information Technology. As a branding agency with a background in consultancy, the quest to put our clients' products out there for the public to see what they have to offer drove us into the research that gave birth to Beacon Online Radio, as we were not satisfied with what the other radio stations operating before us were offering. We knew, we didn't have all the funds to establish a regular radio station, so we went the route of online radio, which has more reach and is cheaper to operate. We considered all the limiting factors operating from Nigeria would have contributed and we found a way around all of them.

06.08 Justification

Online radio is a modern way of radio compared to the regular radio station. We can stream both audio and live visuals on our social media pages, so listeners get to see what is happening inside our studio. That aside, with the advent of mobile apps, anybody, anywhere can listen to us, while you will need a transistor radio to be able to listen to most traditional radio stations in Nigeria, which are obsolete and have limited reach.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

Most of our competitors are traditional radio stations in Nigeria. We have a low cost of operations we do not need all the heavy equipment needed to run the regular radio stations. We can automate most of our process, thereby allowing us to achieve 24-hour broadcast without the high number of manpower and cost required. We have more reach than they have because we are global and are enlisted on most international radio directories, while a large number of them can only be heard in maximum of three states in Nigeria.
