CELEBRATING RADIO | WORLD RADIO DAY 2016 | 03 RADIO MEANS BUSINESS Radio, as the oldest form of electronic mass media, has a great deal to live up to in the digital age. Yet when it comes to telling stories, informing and entertaining – and, importantly, garnering the trust of its audiences – radio’s core qualities endure. Simon Spanswick takes a closer look CONTEXT | THE BUSINESS OF RADIO

s we mark World Radio Day 2016, radio can hold its head high. It is the oldest electronic mass medium, with an extraordinary heritage that stretches back almost a century. Combine that heritage with radio’s remarkable attributes of immediacy, pAersonality, reach and discovery, and the opportunity exists for radio broadcasters to connect with audiences in a way that no other mass medium can. Studies undertaken in many different regions of the world tell the same story: radio creates a more ‘human’ relationship with its audience. That human touch sustained radio through the arrival of television (a challenge many said would knock radio out of the water). That same human face continues to keep radio relevant in today’s age of digital platforms and social media (when once again naysayers are talking of the demise of the radio medium). Radio’s relevance is convincingly demonstrated by the billions of people around the world who tune every day to tens of thousands of radio stations. News bulletins keep people up-to-date; weather reports help listeners plan their day (and take action when the weather is about to deteriorate); and music keeps them entertained. From the Pampas of Argentina to the islands of the Pacific, radio is both vital and vibrant. Radio stations large and small compete for the attention of listeners who, just about everywhere, have immense choice of what to listen to. And for the listener – importantly – radio is free to consume and the equipment to receive radio very affordable. This low cost access to radio is one of the medium’s fundamental advantages in today’s data-driven world. There are, quite simply, countless radio sets in use in people’s homes, cars and workplaces around the world. A simple radio costs just a few dollars and many people have an FM radio incorporated into their mobile phone. Radio is ubiquitous. That ubiquity enhances radio’s value, both to consumers and to business. It means big audiences for programmes and therefore, on commercial stations, advertisers.

BIG BUSINESS That ‘free to listen’ proposition helps drive the radio industry as commercially successful. Estimates suggest that, globally, radio generates revenues in excess of US$25bn every year. In India, where private radio is relatively young, PwC says that the commercial radio industry alone is worth around INR16.2bn (US$253m). All India Radio’s budget is not much less, at around US$238m, so India’s radio business is worth around US$491m. In Australia, advertising revenue on commercial radio in metropolitan areas for the first six months of

2015 reached A$391m (US$272m) . t

In the UK, commercial radio revenue stands at around £483m while the BBC’s spend on its It’s the domestic radio services is about free-to-air £725m . In many markets, radio revenues offer that are growing, bucking the trend that helps make exists in some sectors of the media, radio a such as print. “commercial Direct revenues are not the only success business issue that we need to consider when looking at the radio industry. Companies that supply products and services to radio broadcasters – from transmission providers to news agencies – play a significant role across the industry, helping generate revenues, stimulate research and development and create jobs. ” Independent producers of programmes also benefit from the robust radio industry in many parts of the world, as more broadcasters seek new ideas from outside their organisations to keep schedules fresh and inspirational. everywhere, bringing with them a performers are recorded for and With so much music played on wealth of choice of content – broadcast on the BBC’s pop music radio stations locally, nationally provided, of course, you can afford stations Radio 1 and Radio 2 as well and even internationally, the music the data costs or the subscription as being made available in video industry accrues benefits from fees. online and on digital TV. radio.
