The Reality of • Pandora claims that they reach 7+% of total audio listening ... ALL Internet Streaming accounts for only 5% of total radio listening including digital, broadcast and satellite. Their 7% share is an impossibility. Unsupported and unsupportable.¹ • Pandora claims that they have 75% of all Internet Listening ... In reality Pandora’s share of Internet listening is likely 1/3 smaller. It has a big share of a small universe. ² • Pandora does not replace radio. 96% of monthly Pandora users listened to Radio in the past week.³ • Pandora users listen to 50% more AM/FM radio than non-Pandora users. • Pandora claims its users spend 20 hours a month … Pandora includes overnight and Premium subscriber (no ads) listening. That is 40 minutes a day or less with an average of 3-4 ads an hour. Commercial Radio offers more than 4 times that. • Pandora claims that the reach of their network is as big or bigger than top rated local stations ... In reality they are combining all their individual channels togetherto compete against an individual broadcast radio stations with a methodology that does not match Arbitron ratings. • Pandora claims they can target geographically….In reality, Pandora doesn’t check to see if registrants have moved. Consider that 40% of 18-34 and 30% of total population move within 3 years.⁴ • Pandora has no personalities, no local presence, no community connections, offers none of the live opportunities Broadcast Radio does.
