Spot Load Study 2005: Managing Radio Commercial Inventories for Advertisers and Listeners

By Edison Research

How do radio listeners react to the number and placement of radio commercials they hear, and how does this vary by format, demographic, and listening location? How can stations structure pods to minimize listener fatigue? Those are just a few of the questions answered in Edison Media Research and Arbitron’s new study: “Spot Load Study 2005: Managing Radio Commercial Inventories for Advertisers and Listeners.”
