Alas, it has been a very long time since, at least in the USA, a headline would read "One in three listen to shortwave radio"... Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Terry <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 2:47 PM Subject: [uk-radio-listeners] One in three listen to radio online: Rajar To: BDXC News <[email protected]>, uk radio listeners < [email protected]>, DXLD <[email protected]> Daily Telegraph By Billy Kenber 11 December 2009 The number who have taken advantage of the internet to follow their favourite programmes has climbed by around 3 million in the past 18 months to 17.4 million, a survey commissioned by Rajar, the industry's audience monitoring body, found that some 13.9 million have used listen-again services like BBC iPlayer, while 8.1 million have downloaded a podcast. Spotify, Last.fm, and other personalised online radio services which allow users to choose their own music are also growing in popularity - more than 4.5 million have used such services, up from under 3 million a year ago. Rajar said that traditional radio sets weren't being abandoned altogether, but people are listening to internet radio alongside FM and digital broadcasts. Christel Lacaze, Rajar's research manager, said: "People are online more and they have access to faster and better broadband. Listening to the radio online is easy." The internet also allows people to listen to specialist music and international stations which would not otherwise be available on traditional sets. Next year, the BBC will launch an internet radio player with more than 300 commercial and BBC stations including Classic FM, Capital, and Heart. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6789132/One-in-three-listen-to-radio-online-Rajar.html ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message.
