1:55 RESEARCH: Radio’s Hardware Problem: How does radio compete if consumers don’t have radios?
Megan Lazovick (Vice President, Edison Research)
For decades, AM/FM Radio enjoyed a practical monopoly on listening, save for CDs or other recorded audio. Today, consumers have nearly limitless options available at home or work, especially with the advent of the smartphone and high-speed internet. While there are fewer easy options in the car, SiriusXM has come along and everyone is gunning for this space as well. Smart speakers create opportunity, but yet another area where consumers can listen to virtually anything. So the question is, “How does radio compete if consumers don’t have radios?” Using new data from Edison Research’s Share of Ear, Edison Research VP Megan Lazovick will look at radio’s share across multiple platforms and help radio managers prepare for ever-increasing competition.
