Arbitron reported in its June 2010 RADAR radio network audience ratings (RADAR 105) that more than 189 million Persons aged 12+ heard one or more network radio commercials each week of the survey period. As usual, Dial Global was tops in the coveted Persons 18-49 and Persons 25-54 demos, scoring the top three and top two slots, respectively, with their Contemporary and Complete FM products.


“Again, this latest release of RADAR demonstrates the ability of Dial Global and Network Radio to consistently deliver audiences in key demos for our clients,” said Charles Steinhauer, President of Operations for Dial Global.  “We are excited about the increasing reach for Network Radio and Dial Global specifically.”

Network radio gross impressions were flat (-0.4%) with Adults 25-54 and with Adults 18-49 (-0.5%) in RADAR 105 versus RADAR 104 (March 2010). PPM data now makes up 41.2% of the RADAR sample. There were no new PPM Markets this survey, however. Existing PPM markets add another quarter of listening (Jan-Feb-Mar 2010) and Diary markets add the Winter ’10 survey.
