Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY A FOCUS ON PUBLIC RADIO DECEMBER 2014 STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY Q4 Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company 1 THE ECLECTIC AUDIO LANDSCAPE In today’s fragmented media world, where consumers have more choices and more access to content than ever before, audio remains strong. 91.3% of all Americans (age 12+) are using radio during the week. Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small. Public Radio is a unique and relevant part of the lives of 32 million Americans and exists in large part due to the financial support of the listeners we examine in the following pages.
