Finland
There are too many private stations in Finland for Expat Finland
to list! Thankfully RadioMedia,
founded in 1999 to promote and develop the Finnish private
radio industry, provides a comprehensive list of all private
staions, their frequencies, and links to their home pages. You can search for stations by region, or you can check the demographics to see which stations might appeal to you.
RadioMedia is only in Finnish. If you like, try opening the site in Google Translate. Alternatively follow these steps:

www.radiomedia.fi > Click the Radioasemat heading > Scroll to and click your region in the text box marked Valitse kunta
All stations in your area will appear on screen.
To Search for the Right Demographic
Go to
www.radiomedia.fi > In the Radioasemat drop-down menu, click Asemakohtaiset kuuntelijaluvut
These are the Listener Figures, Finland-wide. Column 1 shows the Station, column 2 the Listeners per Week, and column 5 the Age Range of Listeners in %. You can click on any station's name for a lot more information, as well as broadcast frequencies (these are shown at the bottom of each page in the box marked Taajuudet ja kuuluvuusalue).
