Final tally puts radio revenues down 2% for 2007

0

That was down 2% from 2006, which should come as no surprise to any RBR reader. Non-spot was the bright light, up 10% for the year and up 12% in Q4. Network radio was also up, gaining 4% for the year. Spot radio dragged down the numbers, with national down 6% for the year and local off 2%.
