Radio Panel 2019/2020 September-October 2019 / January-February 2020 Events occurring over the p 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 (panelists) over 23 days. Two panels were surveyed: from 14 September to 6 October 2019, and from 11 January to 2 February 2020. 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 weeks, 90.9% of people aged 13 years and older listened to the radio at least once. On average, they listened to the radio for 14.9 days out of 21 days, regardless of how long they listened for.

Over three weeks, 77% of people listened to the radio in the car, 60.5% at home and 14% 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 12.8 days out of 21 of listening per listener, compared with an average of 10.3 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, 14,298 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 9,969 continuous panelists (of whom 82.5% had opted to record their data using the Internet), i.e. 69.7% of the individuals recruited.

Radio Panel Schedule

1st sample From Saturday 14 September to Sunday 6 October 2019: 4,535 continuous panelists

2nd sample From Saturday 11 January to Sunday 2 February 2020: 5,434 continuous panelists

Full period: 9,969 continuous panelists

PRESS RELEASE Radio Panel 2019/2020

Events taking place during the survey periods Over the Radio Panel survey periods of September-October 2019 and January-February 2020, some significant events likely to have an impact on television watching and radio listening behaviours took place:

On 2 September, Hurricane Dorian, considered the strongest hurricane in 40 years, hits the Bahamas, leaving at least 50 people dead. On 13 September, RATP (the public transportation operator in ) go on strike to protest against retirement reform, causing huge disruption to public transport in the French capital. On 13 September, the mayor of Levallois, Patrick Balkany, is sentenced to 4 years in prison for tax fraud. He is jailed immediately. On 21 September, protests are organised for the Global Climate March. Clashes between black blocs and protesters take place in Paris. On 23 September, Greta Thunberg denounces 5 member countries of the Children’s Rights Committee during the United Nation’s general assembly on climate to protest against the lack of commitment from governments regarding the climate crisis. On 25 September, Democrats in the United States open an inquiry to impeach president Donald Trump. The Head of State is accused of pressuring the Ukranian president to obtain information on his rival, Joe Biden, during the 2016 campaign. On 26 September, a fire breaks out at Lubrizol, a provider of specialty chemicals and a high-risk site in Rouen. There were no victims, but the toxicity of the fumes worries the locals. On 26 September, former French President Jacques Chirac passes away, aged 86. On 29 September, a national tribute is paid to him at Les Invalides in Paris. A national mourning day is decreed on 30 September. On 3 October, a man armed with a knife attacks police at the Police Prefecture in Paris, killing 3 police offiers and 1 administrative employee. The perpetrator is killed. On 11 January, the government temporarily removes the pivotal age from the pension reform. The strike movement started at the SNCF and RATP in early December continues until January 26. A strike at Radio France disrupts a part of the programs until February 2. January marks the start of the global spread of Covid-19. On January 22, in China, where the virus first appears, we report 17 dead and 555 people infected. On January 24, the first cases of contamination were identified in France. On January 31, the officially leaves the European Union.

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.
