So why does Mitton Media use traditional AM/FM Radio as part of our blended recruitment advertising strategies?

Traditional AM/FM Radio Reaches ALL Generations

  • In today’s job market, where nearly everyone who wants a job already has a job, it is critical for employers to proactively reach and engage PASSIVE job seekers. (“We already have a job. Why would we be looking for another job?”)
  • AM/FM Radio remains the number one reach medium in the U.S., according to Nielsen.
  • Nielsen Research says Radio has the most active users per month, totaling to 240 million consumers a month.
  • AM/FM stations reach 97 percent of the U.S. adult population.
  • According to Nielsen, Radio’s WEEKLY reach among the Millennials across the country is 92 percent.
    • What other medium reaches 92 percent of Millennials’ on a weekly basis?
  • Edison Research says while 74 percent of adults in the U.S. listen to AM/FM stations DAILY, only 15 percent are choosing Pandora and 6 percent are choosing Spotify.

Traditional AM/FM Radio is still King of Daylight Hours

According to Tony Hereau, Nielsen VP of audience insights:

  • Starting between 6am and 7am, radio becomes very dominant. Hereau says, “Once people get into their commute and work routine, that’s where radio really shoots up.”
    • Can you say, “Captive Audience?”
  • Data from Nielsen reinforces radio as the dominant reach medium during the daylight hours, 5am to 6pm.
  • Radio usage is greatest from 6am to 6pm, while TV takes over at night, capturing at least half of all media consumption from 6pm-6am.
  • While the recent data shows radio commands the most consistent usage across all age groups, Hereau says, “When you look at some of the younger demos, like 18-34, the story is even stronger. There are even more hours where radio is the top medium for share during the morning.”
  • Nielsen’s Total Audience Report also reinforces radio as an equal opportunity reach medium with a consistent performance across demos, races and ethnicities.
