About This Video
We just read a study that at any given time 94% of Americans listen to the radio. Are you one of those people? We’re curious about what you listen to… Podcasts, streaming music, NPR, Talk, National shows, etc. What do you like or dislike about listening to the radio, if you listen. Let us know in the comments… thanks for participating.
Background & Context
Being in this industry for over three decades, I can tell you that radio is far from being extinct. The study revealing that 94% of Americans listen to the radio at any given time doesn’t surprise me. It’s the sense of connection, the human voice, the community that radio brings – something streaming platforms often lack. Whether it’s the morning drive, the news hour, or late-night talk shows, radio offers a unique blend of entertainment, information, and companionship. I encourage everyone to participate in this conversation. Your listening habits, your likes, and dislikes, they all matter because they shape the future of radio.
