“Infinite Dial 2014” Format Report: Country P1s More Reliant On Broadcast Radio
By Edison Research
Somerville, New Jersey — May 29, 2014 — P1 listeners to Country radio are less likely than the national average to listen to online radio overall, and Pandora specifically. They are more interested than the average listener in keeping up-to-date with music and more likely to use radio to find out about music.
These and other key findings are from “The Infinite Dial 2014: A Look at Country P1s.” The new report is the latest in the continuing series of format breakouts from Edison Research’s influential “Infinite Dial” study, released in March of this year.
Respondents to Edison Research’s 2014 “The Infinite Dial” were asked to name the radio station they listen to most, each of which was individually coded by format. The Country breakouts are based on 146 listeners age 12 and older who named a Country outlet as their P1 station.
Country P1s were less likely than overall respondents to have listened to online radio in the last week, 30% compared to 36%. They were also less likely to have listened to Pandora in the last week (19% versus 22%). They were also less likely to have used YouTube within the previous week to watch music videos or listen to music (27% to 33%).
Keeping up-to-date with music is important to 51% of Country radio P1s, compared to 47% of the total sample. And a slightly larger number than average (78% to 75%) say they use AM/FM radio to find out about music.
The Country P1s sampled by “The Infinite Dial” represent a wide age range, with 42% age 34 or younger, 27% age 35 to 54, and 31% age 55-plus.
Released in early March 2014 in conjunction with Triton Digital, “The Infinite Dial” surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2,023 respondents aged 12 and older via telephone. Now in its twenty-second edition, “The Infinite Dial” has become digital audio’s annual report card. The format reports contain further information about device usage, in-car listening, social networking, and more.
