Broadcast your radio station backstage with Facebook Live!

At the beginning of April, Facebook announced the availability of its new feature: Facebook Live.

This new feature allows you to broadcast live videos from your smartphone. This is an opportunity for radios that want to share new experiences with their listeners!

Live videos for unique moments

A new way to communicate with your viewership. Your Facebook Page becomes the backstage communication channel, important moments and events linked to the existence of your radio, but also an occasion to communicate in real-time with your listeners.

The entirety of their reactions and comments will be posted at the bottom of the video, which will give you an idea of the overall opinion of your live feed.

Need a few ideas? Organize contests – Go behind the scenes of your radio station – Surprise your audience etc.
