Online, Radio Listeners Staying Put

Ready for the June Triton Digital Webcast Metrics report? The predictable drop in total listeners is there as the bad news. It's an annual drop that should cause no concern; people spend more time outside and also away from their smartphones. Average Time Spent Listening is continuing a downward slide, averaging 0.89, 0.86, to a 0.77 percent of an hour for April, May, and June, respectively. But I'm not concerned about that either. It's summer, and this drop happens each year.

Where we do have a silver lining is in looking at PAASRSS - the Percentage of Average Active Sessions Resulting from Session Starts. This important indicator of listener activity is up, nearly across the board (Monday-Friday). The inference is more people are finding more stations to sample and stick with for more than a minute.

While the broadcast side of radio has a near lockout on airing indie artists, introducing new music is open wide at internet stations.
