Hot Topic - Radio Audience

Listeners Jump The Track, Broadcasters Lean In - February 6, 2020
Media dynamics are typically defined by numbers from afar. For radio broadcasters, audience estimates support or refute working narratives with totals, comparisons, percentages and trends. For those supported by the media buyers this is life-blood. Dynamics within the studios can be different.

Stability Might Be Welcome But It Doesn't Move Anything Forward - January 31, 2020
For those toiling in the media sphere there is enduring fear of digital disruption. For radio broadcasters this does not mean the continued encroachment by digital platforms like DAB. It is much more. Radio listeners - and particularly the young people advertisers need to survive - are steadily migrating to online and mobile platforms.

Platform Diving Meets Reality, Not A Splash - November 21, 2019

Digital culture has become the surrounding culture; the sound is everywhere.

There should be no doubt. The digital revolution keeps marching on. Every part of the media sphere has joined the parade with drums and bugles. The advertising people are cheering. Even newer technologies coming. The disruption will be profound.

Listeners Flee The Turmoil, Broadcasters Flee The Heat - July 23, 2019
Radio broadcasters, by and large, are the domaine of their listeners. Without people tuning-in, figuratively if no longer literally, radio becomes like the proverbial tree in the forest. If nobody hears it, it isn't there.

Traditional Strategies Bend As Millennials Flee - May 16, 2019
Radio is but another medium brought to change as its listeners adopt new ways of using it. Look what happened to newspapers; Google News. Look what happened to television; Netflix. Consumers of audio product - once known as listeners - like streaming, podcasts and having what they want when they want it. Nothing gets in the way of change.
