“Ongoing radio development, propelled – not inhibited – by digital. There are parallels between radio and other well-established broadcast mediums such as TV. For example, much like linear TV, radio is now part of a broader universe, but that doesn’t mean it’s destined to follow exactly the same path.” – says Michal Marcinik, our CEO and AdTonos Founder in the Member Viewpoint series of IAB UK.
Michal commented:
“In contrast to conventional TV, radio has grown with shifting listener requirements and activity; avoiding online erosion by actively embracing the opportunity to maintain audience connections via digital avenues. The fact that radio continued to account for 70% of total audio listening through lockdown 1.0 is evidence of its enduring value.
Next year, we can expect radio to keep progressing in partnership with digital; sustaining strong advertising revenues, attracting audience appeal, and continually finding new ways to provide engaging content in line with changing trends and contexts.”
