Krzysztof Stanowski closed Wesz³o FM. “I will not pour money endlessly”

Weszło FM started broadcasting in February 2018. The internet station has become the younger sister of the portal where it all started, Weszło. The radio broadcasts from 7:00 am to midnight. The schedule has the most content about football, but the morning streaks – “Two without a helmsman” and the evening “Hyde Park” are also fixed elements. The most important matches are broadcast live on the station, but for less than four weeks.

Krzysztof Stanowski closes Weszło FM. Part of the editorial office will move to the Sports Channel

The founder of the Weszło group announced his decision on Facebook. In the post, he explained what prompted him to end Weszlo FM, mainly due to financial reasons.

“There are two reasons. The most important is that the radio has never become self-sufficient in financial terms and I had to cover the costs of its operation with revenues from other companies, i.e. WeszloCom and WeszloTV. Since in four years we have not reached the point where we will be at least zero , I decided that I would not spend money indefinitely. Anyway, I felt bad for the Weszło crew (written and YouTube), which had to work for the maintenance of the radio, not for their own comfort, “wrote Krzysztof Stanowski.

.

The journalist cited dynamic development as the second reason and emphasized that the two projects get in the way of each other a bit. One of its creators announced that part of the crew – both the editorial office and the technical crew, will just go to the Sports Channel.

There will be no radio anymore, but there will be podcasts. Stanowski even disclosed the financial results of his companies

He apologized to all listeners of Weszło FM and assured that fans of audio content will not remain in the ice. “I still believe, however, that in a different model, audio content may be sought on the market, so instead of broadcasting live, we will try to create a series of regularly appearing podcasts, which we will be able to properly prepare in terms of quality and subject matter (and with quality on the radio recently there have been differently) “- we read in the entry by the founder of the Weszło group.

The journalist also published last year’s financial results. three companies that make up the Weszło Group:

• WeszloCom: PLN 3.71 million of revenues, PLN 3.25 million of costs (profit)
• WeszloTV: 0.55 million of revenues, 0.34 million PLN of costs (profit).
• WeszloFM: PLN 0.17 million of revenues, PLN 0.3 million of costs (loss).

Focusing on the Sports Channel can contribute to even better results of the website, whose founders are Michał Pol, Tomasz Smokowski and Krzysztof Stanowski. Currently, the channel has 771,000 on YouTube. subscribers, and 1.8 thous. materials, recorded a total of 287 million views. At the beginning of September 2021, Maciej Sawicki became the president of the channel.
