Nielsen’s Head of Audio:- Advertisers Rediscover Radio
Posted on Leave a comment
While it has consistently maintained popularity and ubiquity among all ages of U.S. listeners, radio perhaps lost its place in line with advertisers as new, shinier audio offerings pervaded the landscape.
That distraction appears to be fading. After combatting a stagnant ad market and losing dollars to those data-rich digital channels, the radio industry is getting revived interest and increased activity from marketers and advertisers.
Inside Radio’s two-part Monday feature offers a sleek dive into radio’s rediscovery by Madison Avenue, which—again—appears to be recognizing radio’s ability to reach the masses with proven content, alongside expanded platforms like digital audio, mobile apps, podcasts and live events.
“Radio just sort of fell out of their consciousness. So now we’re reintroducing it to them. And they’re engaging, they’re very open to it,” offers Nielsen’s Head of Audio Brad Kelly.
And at a time when

AM/FM Radio Grabs 50% ‘Share Of Ear’ In – study shows by Edison
Posted on Leave a comment
AM/FM radio continues to dominate a rapidly expanding audio universe in the U.S., accounting for half the time Americans spend listening to audio. AM/FM grabbed a 50% “share of ear” according to new first quarter 2018 data from Edison Research – more than triple that of streaming audio. The new numbers include both AM/FM radio delivered over the air and via online streaming. But broadcast radio receivers are far and away the top device for listening to audio.
Since its inception four years ago, Edison’s quarterly Share Of Ear studies have become the de facto way to stack various audio sources up against one another to see how Americans allocate their audio time. With AM/FM, streaming and podcasts each measured by different measurement providers, using different methodologies, Share Of Ear has emerged as the definite single-source barometer for all things audio.
At 50%, the amount of time Americans 13+ spend with AM/FM is more than triple that for streaming audi

The NAB Show Wrap-Up this year and the Digital Revolution will Rule.
Posted on Leave a comment
It wasn’t so long ago that the radio industry was collectively shuffling its feet as in-car listening—AM/FM’s bread and butter—was subsiding amid a threatening new technology called “streaming,” as at-home and at-home tune-in were also declining. Well, look at us now. While traditional over the air AM/FM remains the mothership, broadcasters at the 2018 NAB Show this month made clear that the industry has now created its own digital revolution.
During the National Association of Broadcasters convention last week in Las Vegas—which brought together 94,000 attendees from 161 countries and 1,800+ exhibitors—station streaming has become a given. Add proprietary websites and social media, and the likes of mobile apps, smart speaker skills, podcasting, ROI and geo-fencing.
Indeed, all of this dizzying change is, in fact, prompting broadcasters to reimagine what business they’re in, Entercom senior VP, Corporate Business Development Tim Murph

Major changes as SABC Radio re-shuffles presenters
Posted on Leave a comment
South Africa’s public broadcaster, the SABC, has announced several exciting changes to presenter line-ups on its radio stations, underscoring the need to stay relevant and stay tuned to listeners’ needs.
But the process isn’t without a great big elephant in the room: The Sakina Kamwendo situation. Kamwendo abruptly disappeared off air midway through her Forum at 8 show on Friday morning, replaced by music for the remainder of her allotted time. Rumours pointed to the show’s producers being told to take her off the air. Social media went crazy, with fans demanding answers.
