public service broadcaster Rai, and major television entities.

Suraci expressed his commitment to leveraging his vast experience to benefit the radio
0:40
industry during times of technological evolution and change.

In a move that's been applauded by commercial radio stations across Sweden, the government
0:50
has proposed a draft bill to reduce fees for the industry.

Under the new plan, fees will be based on a percentage of advertising income, rather than
0:59
auction bids.

This change aims to create better business conditions for radio stations and encourage
1:07
future investments.

The bill is currently under review and is expected to be implemented by December 2025,
