NEW "SHARE OF EAR" REPORTS: RADIO IS STILL “KING OF THE CAR”


Edison Research recently released studies that show the majority of in-vehicle audio listening is to traditional AM/FM radio. Edison’s Share of Ear for the 2nd quarter of 2016 and a Share of Music special report demonstrate AM/FM's impact in what is becoming an increasingly competitive environment.


You can download the information at [link].  


Edison estimates that time-spent-listening (TSL) to audio from any source when in any place is just over four hours per day. Seventy-nine percent of the TSL consists of listening to music, 9% of listening is to news, 9% of listening is to talk personalities and 3% of listening is to sports.

Here are slides showing information I found particularly interesting:

• AM/FM RADIO IS STILL THE MOST LISTENED TO PLATFORM IN VEHICLES



• AM/FM RADIO IS THE TOP LISTENING CHOICE FOR ALL AGE GROUPS



Note that listening to SiriusXM by respondents ages 13 – 34 is considerable lower than for older demos. I noticed this same trend in Jacob’s Media’s Public Radio Tech Survey 8, where listening to SiriusXM also lagged behind other groups.

• IN-VEHICLE LEADS LISTENING TO AUDIO FROM ANY SOURCE

  
• MUSIC IS THE NUMBER ONE TYPE OF CONTENT IN VEHICLES


• ALL MUSIC LISTENING TO MUSIC FROM ANY SOURCE PEAKS IN THE MORNING
 #21

The high point for music listening is between 9am and 1pm. Please keep in mind that this is listening to music from any source in any place.

• AM/FM RADIO HAS THE MOST MUSIC LISTENING BY PLATFORM


 
• PANDORA, APPLE MUSIC & iHEART RADIO LEAD IN STREAMING AUDIO BRAND AWARENESS
