Survey: Radio is the Dominant Listening Platform!
Radio, despite competition from digital music services, is still the dominant platform for listening to music, news and talk, research by MediaVest and Clear Channel Media and Entertainment has found. People turn to traditional radio more frequently than other platforms, with more than 50% of people in the U.S. tuning in every day, according to the report. "New outlets are not coming at a cost to traditional forms of consumption," said Clear Channel's Radha Subramanyam.
"Now you have more opportunities to consume content and the overall pie has
grown."
