Media, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2017 -- Mark Lipsky, the founder and president of a premier radio ad agency, The Radio Agency, just released an article that details the radio industry's seismic growth over the past decade. The write-up, in which Lipsky parallels radio's renaissance to the industry's embrace of technology, is accessible on The Radio Agency's website.

A little over a decade ago, radio's demise seemed inevitable as new forms of technology—online games, music videos, iPods and so forth—made their way into the hands of consumers. "But rather than sing its swan song, the radio industry found a way to again make itself relevant," said Lipsky. "Not only did radio figure out a way to survive; it found a way to thrive and flourish to levels of listenership higher than before."

According to Lipsky's article, 92.7 percent of all American adults age 18 and older listen to AM/FM each week.

Beyond the traditional AM/FM platform, newer radio media boast high volumes of listenership as well. For instance, smartphone streaming radio platforms (think Spotify and Pandora) are used by roughly a third of Americans, a 20 percent annual increase in listenership.

"Regardless of the platform, radio listenership is up across the board, and continues to see steady, exponential annual growth," said Lipsky. "That's great news for advertisers, who can reap the benefits of large audiences, as well as the pinpoint targeting that these new platforms offer."

Lipsky is calling all advertisers to "crank it up," take advantage of radio's successes and devote more their marketing budgets to its myriad platforms.
