MORAY FIRTH RADIO
RAJAR Q1 2013
THE POWER OF RADIO
High reach - Commercial radio reaches 65% of adults in Scotland each
week. More Scottish adults listen to a commercial radio station than the
BBC
Frequency medium - listeners will hear an average size campaign at least 4
times - double the frequency of a similar campaign on TV
Low cost – Low capital cost and low production costs make radio a cost
effective alternative
Targeted – different audiences are available at different times of the day
Closeness to Consumers – Radio is seen as a trusted friend by listeners,
advertisers can “borrow” this trust
Intrusiveness – because radio adverts arrive on air unannounced listeners
are more likely to zone in
Youth focused – according to TGI, the average age of the UK adult
population is 46. The average Commercial Radio listener (all listeners) is
only 45 (compared to 48yrs on average for BBC – all listeners)

USING RADIO WITH OTHER MEDIA
Radio and the Internet
Almost 50% of adults listen to the radio when
online each week and may be directed to a
particular website on hearing an advert on the
radio at the time of surfing
Combining radio and online significantly
enhances response
57% of the adults asked claim to have
checked things on the internet after just
hearing about them on the radio, with 59%
claiming to use the internet to search to
find more details.
This isn’t just restricted to editorial
mentions – 39% claimed that advertising
has prompted them to search for
something on the internet.
