Radio Panel 2017/2018 September-October 2017 / January-February 2018

Main results pp. 2 to 4 Radio Panel schedule and methodology p. 5 Events occurring over the periods and definition of audience indicators p. 6

Objective of the Radio Panel

To measure the number of people listening to the radio and the listening frequency over a long period, Médiamétrie gathered information about the listening habits of the same people (panellists) over 23 days. Two panels were surveyed. from 16 September to 8 October 2017, and from 13 January to 4 February 2018. The aim of the Radio Panel is to better understand the behaviour of the listeners over a long period (duplications between stations, transfers of one station to another, renewal and loyalty of the audience, etc.) and to provide information for the media- planning models.

The panel survey supplements the “126,000 Radio” survey, which, with a daily renewal of the individuals surveyed, measures the audience levels as a daily average, as well as the profiles of their listeners.

Information gleaned about Radio media

Over a period of three full weeks, 92.1% of people aged 13 years and older listened to the radio at least once. On average, they listened to the radio for 15.4 days out of 21 days, regardless of how long they listened for.

Over three weeks, 78.3% of people listened to the radio in the car, 64.6% at home and 15.3% in the place of work or study. This shows that the coverage over three weeks is higher in the car than at home, but listening at home remains more regular with an overage of 13 days out of 21 of listening per listener, compared with an average of 10.8 days in the car.

This press release only mentions the stations, networks and coordinations subscribing to the survey and achieving at least 4% of maximum coverage during the 21-day period.

Measurement of the Radio Panel

Radio Panel Methodology 1 - Médiamétrie recruited, via telephone and across two periods, 14,349 individuals who were geographically and socio-demographically representative of the population aged 13 years and older living in metropolitan France.

2 - Web user panellists could either record their information using a web interface or a smartphone app. Panellists who were not web users or those who were reluctant to respond via the Internet, could record their information in a hardcopy listening diary.

3 - Each panellist recorded his/her radio listening habits over 23 consecutive days. To do that, he/she had a listening grid showing in rows the times, quarter hour by quarter hour and, in columns, the name of the national stations and the main regional and local stations. A special column was provided for indicating the other stations listened to that did not appear on this list. Finally, he/she recorded where the listening took place (home, car, workplace, other).

4 - A panellist was deemed continuous if he/she sent all of the information about his/her radio listening habits over the 23 days of active panel participation. Only continuous panellists were taken into account in the Radio Panel. The presented results are based on 10,196 continuous panellists (of whom 79.1% had opted to record their data using the Internet), i.e. 71.1% of the individuals recruited.

Radio Panel Schedule

1st sample From Saturday 16 September to Sunday 8 October 2017: 4,688 continuous panellists

2nd sample From Saturday 13 January to Sunday 4 February 2018: 5,508 continuous panellists

Full period: 10,196 continuous panellists

PRESS RELEASE Radio Panel 2017/2018

Events taking place during the survey periods Over the Radio Panel survey periods of September-October 2017 and January-February 2018, some significant events likely to have an impact on television watching and radio listening behaviours took place:

• On 19 September, Mexico was hit by an extremely intensive earthquake, resulting in hundreds of deaths and major damage. • On 21 and 23 September, demonstrations took place in and several provincial cities to oppose the Macron government’s plan to reform the French Labour Code by decree. • On 1 October, two young women were stabbed in the square in front of Saint- Charles railway station. A counter-terrorism investigation was launched. • On 1 October, a referendum on Catalonia’s independence was held by separatists. The police intervened using force, resulting in dozens of people injured. • On 2 October, a shooting during an open-air concert in Las Vegas (USA) resulted in 59 people being killed and 500 injured. • On 24 January, , the trial of Jawad Bendaoud (the man accused of harbouring the 13 November 2015 terrorists) started. • On 25 January, ,15 departments from the East of France to Paris were put on flood alert. • On 28 January, the Seine’s water level reached a peak of 5.95 metres.

Definition of the indicators used

The maximum coverage over an average week corresponds to the proportion of individuals aged 13 years and older who listened at least once to the radio or the station surveyed during an average Panel week, or a five-day week from Monday to Friday, or a seven-day week from Monday to Sunday. This is a mathematical average of the maximum coverage of the first, second and third weeks, regardless of the duration of this listening.

The maximum coverage over three weeks (21 days) corresponds to the proportion of individuals aged 13 years and older who listened at least once to the radio or the station studied during the three weeks.

The audience accumulation over 21 days involved totalling, day after day, the people who had their first contact with the radio or the station surveyed, regardless of how long they listen for.

The average number of listening days per listener corresponds to the average number of days when a listener of the media or device studied has at least one contact during the day with the media or this station, regardless of the duration of this contact.
