Music Mix & Personalities: The Main Drivers for Radio
According to BPR’s latest study on the All-Audio Listening Landscape, a study which looked at how radio has been performing alongside its’ rival listening mediums, 41% of audio listeners say a station’s music mix is their main reason to listen to radio.
4000 interviews were conducted for this study with the sample consisting of 18–54-year-old men & women, demographically weighted to each market, who had listened to some form of audio in the past week. Each market’s sample included 500 respondents.
Key international cities were chosen to provide a wider perspective and a broader listener base. Those cities surveyed being:
- London, United Kingdom
- Berlin, Germany
- Paris, France
- Prague, Czech Republic
- Moscow, Russia
- Stockholm, Sweden
- Madrid, Spain
- Sydney, Australia
Despite music streaming providing more choice and control around music, the majority of listeners are still mainly coming to radio for the music, and it seems apparent that a strong music offering is key for most station’s ongoing success. Presenters, and the combination of Presenters & Music are the next highest on this list, but these results confirm that Radio remains a music driven medium, at least in the eyes of the consumers.
