LM Radio on Openview

According to a facebook insert Openview is saying that LM Radio was stopped due to administrative processes and that it will be back soon, but according to LM Radio this is the truth. This is very disappointing!: LM Radio Srsoedtnpo9 y t718ag M h91maai0c0h9alul33im6mg59 5 0311 1 a m2ll ul0g · LM Radio Press Release Johannesburg – 15th May 2023 Dear LM Radio listeners, We have been informed by OpenView that they will be giving preference to radio stations with larger audiences on their platform. As a result, they have decided to cancel the broadcasting of smaller radio stations, including LM Radio, and replace them with stations that have larger audiences. We would like to remind our listeners that LM Radio can still be accessed on DSTV channel 821, DAB in Gauteng, and through live streaming on our website, lmradio.co.za. Additionally, our app is available for download on our website or through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Our management team is committed to restore LM Radio to the airwaves, either by reaching an agreement with Sentech or by setting up our own broadcast infrastructure. Regards, LM Radio Management

Reviewer Update
Hi, yes, the consultant contacted me and confirmed that LM Radio will not be coming back. VERY DISAPPOINTING since there are really not any alternative radio stations with that much golden oldie, 80's, 90's and onward music to listen to.
My question is since LM Radio was launched in 1936 and have thousands, if not millions of listeners, how is it possible that this could be the very reason for openview to shut them down?

Hi Danie

Openview reviews the channel performance based on the listeners on our platform, and not the customer base on a wider scale.
