During the pandemic, we have been following commercial radio listener habits over lockdown and beyond with both Staying Connected During the Coronavirus Crisis and Bounce-back and Beyond. Our new research Radio and the road to recovery looks at the next step, revealing data from the most recent COVID-audience survey which explores the opportunities for brands to get firmly back on the road to recovery. 

Key takeouts

  • A third (31%) are resuming normal shopping and social activities – especially true of key workers and those returning to work
  • Since lockdown commenced 30% of commercial radio listeners claim to have tried a new brand, 25% higher than non-listeners
  • Commercial radio listeners are 54% more likely to be influenced by advertising as one of the main reasons for switching brands
