01.01.2022 GfK's 2021 Summer Listening report finds audiences are more likely to listen than watch media over the warmer months, and one in two younger listeners would "feel lost" if they couldn't listen to radio for a week. Overall, nine out of 10 radio listeners said they listened to radio as much or more over summer, a figure that has held stable over the past four years of the survey. Radio serves a critical role during the summer months as a medium that listeners can turn to 24/...7 to meet their needs for information, entertainment and companionship, said Joan Warner, chief executive officer of industry body Commercial Radio Australia. For advertisers, radio reaches audiences while they are travelling or at their holiday destination, at a time when they have more time to consider purchases. https://bit.ly/2ZnfdjL
