Online Radio Sessions Grow
Triton Digital released its "January 2012 Internet Audio Top 20 Rankers." Download an Audio Graphics-prepared copy that's complete with charts here. The AG version goes into much greater detail than the official release (posted here). I give the radio industry a variety of charts outlining each major player's movement.
Because there are a number of large webcasters that do not subscribe to Triton Digital, it's important to keep in mind that this listing gives only a partial view of the online radio industry. But it does show important trends; for example, there appears an increase in the amount of weekend listening to radio online - a 4.4% rise between December 2011 and January 2012.

Most surprising is the showing of weekend listening to Pandora - a 20% spike in one month. Clear Channel shows an 11% drop in that same stat. CBS went from having 24.2% of its total online listening done on weekends to 21.1%. Slacker is another player with a major jump in weekend listening, from 35.1% to 53.4% of its "session starts" occurring on the weekend. |
Another metric not covered in radio industry trades is the amount of US-based listening. Many radio groups limit the amount of international audience, but there are substantial numbers of audience for most pure plays.
A quick scan down this list tells the story.
I'll let the charts do the talking from here.
