Arbitron Inc.'s RADAR 107 National Radio Listening Report, which was released yesterday, shows an increase of 3.3 million radio listeners age twelve and older per week, versus the December 2009 report. The number of persons twelve and older listening to radio each week now reaches an estimated 239.8 million -- 93.2 percent of all Americans twelve and older.
In addition to persons twelve and older, radio listening increased year-over-year across major demographic groups, with adults aged 18 to 34 showing the biggest gains. The number of adults aged 18 to 34 who are weekly radio listeners increased nearly 960,000 in the past year, and adults aged 25 to 54 gained more than 750,000 in the same period. Meanwhile, teens aged 12 to 17 continue to embrace radio broadcasts with an average weekly increase of 365,000 versus last year's report.
Despite the proliferation of competing media platforms, radio continues to reach just about everyone on a regular basis. RADAR 107 indicates that, over the course of a week, radio is listened to by over 92 percent of all teens aged 12 to 17, 94 percent of adults aged 18 to 34, and 95 percent of adults in the 18 to 49 and 25 to 54 age brackets.
