1. All regional radio stations employ a generalist or conventional programming strategy. They design a programming by blocks whose star macro-genre is the magazine show. This genre is used mostly in the morning and afternoon blocks with the objective of pulling the highest possible audience ratings.
2. The regional radio stations offer a significant number of programmes, but more than 80% of them are under the umbrella of three types of content: general information, music, and sports information.
3. The programmes guides of regional radio stations favour the provision of informative and music programmes over other types of contents.
4. There is significant gender inequality privileging men, since the presence of male voices is greater than female ones in all the examined regional radio stations.
5. Regional radios are aware of the fact that the Internet is changing the traditional patterns of consumption, design, programming and citizen participation. In this sense, the radio stations are exploring, but still timidly, new technological scenarios and are already testing new formulas to create a new model of radio and programming
according to the new realities. However, from our point of view, they are not taking enough advantage of the creative and communicative possibilities enabled by the Internet and the phenomenon of the social networks.
