The only continuous survey of radio's online audience... in progress since 2002.

1,043 online radio listeners responded to Survey 49.
Survey completed: July 29, 2010

Survey 49 Topics: Stations Playing New Artists
Audience Interest in Unsigned Bands
Where New Music is Found



Survey 49 respondents are 75.46% male and 23.59% female.
The remaining .95% did not give their age or gender.


Note: Due to a number of popular "oldies" and "jazz" stations
running this survey, relative to the U.S. population, a
disproportionately high number of response was generated
from the 50+ demo.
We are in the process of soliciting radio formats to bring
respondent demos in-line with the U.S. population.


The central question in Survey 49 revolves around a person's desire to hear new music.

Would you like it if your online radio station played fewer/more new artists?

Looking at all survey respondents, the split appears as 55% wanting to hear more new artists and 44.2% wanting fewer new artists.

Concentrating on the 12-44 demos, the percentage that wants to hear more new artists is considerably higher.




Question:
Are you interested in hearing music from unsigned bands?

Changing the questions slightly to reference "unsigned bands" instead of "new artists" gives the following response:

Where to Find New Music

Considering the response from internet radio's audience relative to its desire to hear "new music" and "unsigned bands," the natural follow-up question is to identify where people are finding most new music.

Question:
Lately, I've been finding most new music on...


Separating the demo groups, there is little difference between 12-44 and 45-55+ concerning where new music is found.
