Radio in the Urban Context: How Can Radio Attract Audiences of
Newer Municipalities of Nepal

Rajiv Timalsina

---

Abstract:

Radio is mostly connected with rural areas, where other mass media forms seldom exist. The use of radio in urban context,. cannot be denied however; this has been well-exemplified in the aftermath of 7.8 M earthquake on 25 April 2015 and the subsequent aftershocks. New municipalities have been declared in Nepal without much preparations, and many lack basic infrastructures of transport, health and communications. Now that radio is thought of for the rural, the newly transformed municipalities too can use radio to raise discourse with urban audiences on different relevant urban issues.

Keywords: radio, urbanization, new municipalities, metropolitan, urban listener-ship, audiences.
