REACH RADIO PLAYER

Five themes from Radiodays 2014

As conference contributors, RadioCentre staff were part of the 1300 delegates attending the city’s Convention Centre on the banks of the River Liffey, and they’ve picked out five key themes that were running through many of the sessions, as presenters examined the challenges and opportunities for radio in the future.


Radio Academy Awards 2014 nominations revealed

The winners will be revealed at the Awards Ceremony on May 12 at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, hosted by presenter Chris Evans.


NCS and Nielsen Audio link radio ads to retail sales

The Portable People Meter (PPM) from Nielsen Audio detects inaudible watermarks embedded in the audio portion of a broadcast programme or advert. The PPM tracks what station was heard at what time, and listener information for specific adverts is then linked to frequent shopper data in order to determine how ads have influenced sales.


Radio revenue steady in 2013; BIA/Kelsey breaks out top 10 earners

Overall radio revenue was flat at $14.3-billion in the 2012-2013 year-over-year comparison
