BIA Kelsey Releases State of Radio Industry Report. As part of its state of the radio industry report,
BIA Kelsey releases "The Position of Local Radio Stations: Trends for 2016 & Beyond." Using data from
Nielsen Audio,
Edison Research,
Miller Kaplan, and more, the study looks at AM/FM radio's reach and revenue over the past five years and projects where radio is likely to be five years down the road. It notes recent industry-wide dips in local station revenue. "We believe local radio stations will be able to turn around this negative over-the-air revenue growth slightly. As long as the economy maintains moderate growth in the next few years, we expect total radio advertising to grow in the 1.0 % to 1.25 % CAGR range." The BIA Kelsey study also points to digital and live events as pieces of the radio revenue pie that have helped AM/FM survive spot sales declines that will continue to be crucial to radio's bottom line in the years ahead.
