Just 12% of AM/FM radio listening happens online
Just 12% of listening to AM/FM happens via streaming and that represents a new high for Americans 13 years and older.
The stat from Edison Research confirms both current consumer preference for more personalized on-demand streams like Spotify as well as a huge opportunity for radio to grow its audience online.

“To realize growth, radio has to capitalize on its content being available beyond just a traditional radio receiver,” said Laura Ivey, Director of Research at Edison Research. “The challenge is how to convince listeners to follow radio content on different devices – radio not on ‘a radio.”
