The results of 2017’s third New Zealand Commercial Radio Audience Measurement survey are in, and 3.36 million people, more than 80% of New Zealanders aged 10+, listen to commercial radio each week
Radio Broadcasters Association CEO Jana Rangooni says “This survey is the third this year, and the third that shows growth in commercial radio audiences across New Zealand. The overall consistency and stability of the data demonstrates the credibility of New Zealand’s largest media survey with almost 15,000 people surveyed. It also shows the loyalty that listeners have to the stations they use every day.”

- People 10-17: 75.0% listen each week

MediaWorks Group Content Director Radio Leon Wratt points out “Radio continues to have a strong connection with audiences all over the country. This is something to celebrate but we will keep innovating to ensure radio remains as relevant in the future as it is now.”
