Here are Edison's findings:
Radio is the #1 ad-supported audio source for all ages in the U.S.
Listeners aged 18+ spend more than twice the amount of their daily audio time with AM/FM radio compared to streaming audio.
AM/FM Radio Leads Listening Outside the Car, too.
Edison says to take a moment to consider that while the term “AM/FM radio” likely conjures up images of listening through a traditional radio receiver, it also includes online streams of stations with a significant audience of their own. In this sense, we categorize AM/FM radio streams (which are supported by ads) as a competitor to ad-supported streaming services.
When we think of radio, we must think of it as a product, not just a device.
The streams of AM/FM radio stations are incredibly competitive with ad-supported streaming services. Remember that paid streaming services do not connect listeners to advertiser messages, so today, we consider only streams that contain ads.
Looking at a very coveted demo for marketers reveals something about their audio streaming listening behavior, as illustrated by the graph below. When we look at the total time those aged 25-54 spend listening to streaming audio supported by ads, we see that more time (52%) is spent with AM/FM radio streams.
