TheMcNair Ingenuity Community Radio Listenership Survey results werereleased earlier this month at Parliament House and showed an increasefrom 47% of Australians (aged 15+) listening to community radio everymonth in 2006, to 57% in 2008
The numberof Australians listening to community radio has exploded, with 57 percent of Australians tuning in compared to 47 per cent only two yearsago. Over nine and a half million people are now tuning in.
This 10 per cent rise in listenership, was revealed today in the 2008Community Radio National Listener Survey, conducted by McNair IngenuityResearch.
President of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia,Deborah Welch said the results were particularly strong because overallmonthly radio listenership had levelled off in recent years.
“The number of people listening to community radio has increased by 10per cent in the last two years, despite the number of people listeningto all radio staying much the same.
The survey showed that many people are choosing to tune into theirlocal community radio station for the localised content, specialistprograms and Australian music that is on offer.
“We have a very high standard of community radio in Australia, and morepeople are tuning in to hear local content from real people from theircommunity.
The number of community broadcasting services has doubled in the last15 years, reaching over 350 stations by the early 2000’s, butgovernment funding has not kept pace.
“Community radio is playing a much more significant role in Australia’smedia landscape, but unfortunately funding is not keeping up withcommunity demand,” said Ms Welch.
