Adult Radio Listening Still Strong...
Monday, December 4, 2023
Radio's target audience of Adults 25-64 is likely to remain as long as it continues to pull strong numbers. And
that it is, according to monthly FMR Associates and Eastlan ratings...
The study surveys thousands each month and is demographically balanced and geographically representative. It's a
national survey of 1500 25-64-year-old adults...
Weekly AM-FM Radio Listening among Adults 25-64 is at 86%, unchanged from 2022. Significantly, cume listening is
strong and consistent regardless of age, sex, market rank or geographic region...
Weekly AM-FM Radio Listening is well ahead of other audio options. In an environment of audio choice, radio
remains the clear preference and listening is stable, not declining.
Most of the alternate choices for listeners stayed stagnant. Streaming audio moved one percentage point from 62%
in 2022 to 63% in 2023. Personal music stayed at 53%. Podcasts went down a point to 24%. 2023 was the first year in a decade that podcast listening remained statistically unchanged. Satellite radio
stayed at 15%. "None of these" and "No answer" climbed to a total of 11%, broken down to 8% and 3% respectively from 6% and 3% (a total of 9% in 2022)...
The full survey will be released to Eastlan and FMR Clients on December 15th...
