FMRassociates.com Internet Impact Trends • How do the Internet and on-line listening or clubs impact radio? • While a substantial number of radio fans (about three of ten) belong to a radio station e-mail club, most simply sign up to participate in contests to win prizes or tickets to concerts/ events. Most never even open e-mails from the station. • Most radio listeners (with access to the Internet) have never listened to radio stations streamed on the Internet. Less than one in ten listen regularly. Even fewer (7%) listen to radio station streams at work (and more than four of ten of these listen to non-local or Internet-only stations).

FMRassociates.com • Website Usage and New Music • One-third or more of radio station website visitors download music or other content, or attempt to get tickets to events or concerts. One of four try to win prizes. • Typically, one-fourth of music radio listeners say that they get new music releases from the Internet – by downloading (and/or purchasing). • Clearly, the Internet (and radio station websites) is a growing way for music radio listeners to obtain new music. However, it does not appear to be a means of listening to the radio. Meanwhile, most e-club or radio website visitors are primarily drawn to the promotions and contests offered by the stations.
