Edison Research President Larry Rosin takes a look at current format trends in U.S. radio, and the state of CHR in particular, in Radio Ink:
“If one were to put the ‘bundle’ of radio formats that depend on new, hit music together, in the fashion of a mutual fund, it would have performed disastrously over the last decade. It is not an exaggeration to say that ‘contemporary music’ is in a crisis at American radio, and if this trend cannot be reversed, or at least halted, there may be vast implications.” Data is from Nielsen Audio.
