Action Stations: The Output and Impact of Commercial Radio
Did you know that eight and a half hours of public service content are broadcast by commercial radio stations every week?
RadioCentre produced the Action Stations report to showcase the findings of a substantial audit of over 160 stations. The audit covered the vital public service content of UK commercial radio, detailing its key contribution to local communities and charitable fundraising.
We backed the report with a nation-wide advertising campaign on commercial radio, highlighting the valuable contribution the industry makes to communities and local businesses.
Key findings include:
-
Radio is at the heart of communities and commercial stations broadcast support for charities and community groups for an average of 13 minutes every week.
-
Stations across the country continue to engage listeners on politics and social issues.
-
Radio is a great platform for MPs to speak to the communities they represent but also give listeners a chance to challenge their MP.
