BLOG: Will Radio Ever Care About Millennials?

7

THE MOUTH, DECEMBER 6TH, 2016 –– In 2006, the National Association of Broadcasters commissioned Paragon to study the newest generation of radio listeners, dubbed Millennials, writes Paragon chief, Mike Henry. “Millennials” was a quaint term at the time, along with other terms in the study from 10 years ago, including “mp3 players,” “iPods” and “MySpace.” The download generation was still a toddler. Only one third of our Millennials downloaded video, and only one half had downloaded music onto personal devices. But, as much as the devices and terms have changed since 2006, Millennial’s radio desires remain unchanged. 7Also unchanged is radio’s shocking lack of response to the wants and needs of younger listeners.

Does it seems as though nothing has changed from 2006, asks Henry? Millennials have the same needs for new music discovery, yet radio seems to only care about moving the PPM needle with arcane programming tactics. Millennials can see right through commercial radio’s smoke and mirrors. They’re not fooled, and now they have many choices and don’t hesitate to use them. They know most new music radio stations only play a small number of songs over and over. Radio listening is the lowest among youngest listeners, many of whom have discovered music without radio as part of their mix. Will radio ever care? READ COMPLETE BLOG HERE
