Another key finding from the reports is that broadcast radio is the dominant form of audio media at home, work and in the car with 46.4% at home, 74.2% in the car and 53.8% at work. When compared to satellite Radio, the difference is substantial with 7.2% listening at home, 5.5% in the car and 12.3% at work.

According to Focus 360, these findings are significant for numerous reasons. "Drastic changes in media consumption,DVR's effect on live TV, the decline in print readership and new accountability tools are just some of the reasons that advertisers are rethinking the traditional media plan," said the firm. "Radio has always been underutilized yet radio continues to deliver a targeted, engaged and very large audience." (11-13-09)
