And, Social Media has only improved that relationship.

From the Clear Channel/USC study, 6 out of 10 of listeners have engaged with radio through social media platforms. 47 percent of listeners active on personality/radio station social media feeds said they feel more connected to their favorite personalities because they can interact through social media.
