Radio’s Popularity

Throughout the 20th century radio was an integral part of every day life, providing an invaluable source of information and entertainment. Radio swiftly grew into the world's most powerful communications medium capable of influencing public opinion and inspiring social change. However, in the 21st century traditional commercial radio struggled to evolve and radio stations failed to listen to the listeners.

Radio Streaming

Genre-specific radio stations enable more effective targeting of niche audiences. By focusing on a particular genre, stations can appeal to specific demographics or interest groups, fostering deeper engagement and loyalty. Dedicating airtime to specific genres, such as Jazz, Classical and World stations, including Bollywood, shows an understanding of the changing marketplace and listener needs.

The Future

  • 19% of audio listening comes from smartphones[1], making radio access via the Internet a popular method of consumption
  • Future listening projections show that radio will retain a central role in the UK media for the next 10-15 years, and similar projections can be expected worldwide[2].
  • Radio will account for over 50% of UK audio listening in the mid-2030s. As the UK is one of the most well-established radio markets in the world, we can expect this to be reflected in other territories and markets.
  • In the UK, 90% of all adults listen to the radio once a week. This figure hasn't decreased at all over the last ten years. Big territories, including India and China, are experiencing even higher growth.
