Broadcast radio tops US media options during Coronavirus outbreak

In the midst of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, Americans restricted to self-isolation in their homes are increasingly turning to broadcast radio as a primary source of information.

That’s the conclusion of a recent survey by the Nielsen Media Research group.

That polling, conducted in late March, found that 83 percent of media consumers over the age of 18 reported that they were listening to as much or more radio as they were prior to the pandemic.
