Report: US Radio Audiences Reach All-Time High

CNNMoney: A new report from Nielsen found that radio’s nationwide audience reached an all-time high during the second quarter of 2015. According to Nielsen, about 245 million Americans ages 12 and up used radio during that span. It was a continuation of an upward trend for radio, which has seen its national audience swell to record highs in the last two years. Nielsen found that radio’s growth was driven by minority listeners. The report found “penetration” among blacks and Hispanic-Americans — both of whom listen to the radio in a given week more than any other ethnic group — hitting historic highs.
