We don’t do plastic pop pap – we do real guitars, real drums and real singers. Absolute Radio. Where real music matters. ABSOLUTE RADIO NETWORK NOW REACHES 4.7M LISTENERS 34.4M LISTENING HOURS ACROSS THE NETWORK PER WEEK UK’S #1 COMMERCIAL RADIO BREAK- FAST SHOW ABSOLUTE 80S #2 DIGITAL COMMERCIAL RADIO STATION ABSOLUTE RADIO AUDIENCE Absolute Radio’s listeners are ‘Reluctant Adults’ and are not like past generations. They have mortgages, families, careers and other adult responsibilities but also want to keep doing most of the things they did in their younger, ‘carefree’ years. To them, age is just a number. This is not about being childish, more about a defence against the dull! ‘Adulting’ is being done on their terms, as they turn their back on the societal norms of the past. For our ‘Reluctant Adults’, music is a constant and it is integral to everything they do.
