Earlier, it was limited to few channels owned by All India Radio and packaged in bulky but portable radio sets. With the onset of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, the change in the technology and arrival of privately owned radio channels brought about a revolution in the radio listening habits. Now, you can stream radio channels while driving through your car music system, while working or travelling to work via mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>From the perspective of content, radio channels are no more limited to playing songs only. Unlike government-owned radio channels, the primary objective of these radio channels is entertainment. However, apart from playing songs, these channels also provide important local updates like traffic, weather, live match etc. With many radio channels supplementing their presence with Facebook Page, WhatsApp Accounts and websites, the whole experience of radio has become integrated on many mediums.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6689 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/84.jpg?resize=475%2C256&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Top radio advertisers\" width=\"475\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/84.jpg?w=475&amp;ssl=1 475w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/84.jpg?resize=300%2C162&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_radio_advertising_important_for_advertisers\"><\/span>Why is radio advertising important for advertisers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As per the latest IRS data, there is about 9% increase of in radio listenership in India compared to the year 2014. Urban regions have shown an increase of about 13%. This is probably due to the presence of privately owned entertainment based radio channels like Radio Mirchi, Red FM etc. Another highlight of this data is- about 45% of listeners in the top 8 markets belong to NCCS A. If we look at the entire nation, 29% of the listeners belong to NCCS A class. This is probably due to a majority of urban population listening to the radio (about 25%) in the car. This is good news for the advertisers as it provides them with an opportunity to reach out to the premium audience through radio advertising.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6690 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/85.jpg?resize=740%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brand cloud\" width=\"740\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/85.jpg?w=1260&amp;ssl=1 1260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/85.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/85.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/85.jpg?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_owns_the_radio_advertising_world\"><\/span>Who owns the radio advertising world?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Media Ant has analysed the data for the last three months, March 2018-May 2018 for 12 cities, to come up with the answer to the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which are the top 5 brands and categories nationwide in radio advertising?<\/li>\n<li>What is the ratio between National, Regional and Local brands in radio advertising?<\/li>\n<li>Is there any change in advertising behaviour between metro and non-metro cities?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Data from following most populated cities of India have been used for the analysis:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mumbai<\/li>\n<li>Kolkata<\/li>\n<li>Delhi<\/li>\n<li>Chennai<\/li>\n<li>Bangalore<\/li>\n<li>Hyderabad<\/li>\n<li>Ahmedabad<\/li>\n<li>Pune<\/li>\n<li>Kanpur<\/li>\n<li>Jaipur<\/li>\n<li>Lucknow<\/li>\n<li>Nagpur<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/86.jpg?resize=740%2C493&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Analysis of radio advertisers\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/86.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/86.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/86.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Results\"><\/span>The Results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_are_the_top_5_Advertisers_and_categories_nationwide_in_radio_advertising\"><\/span>Which are the top 5 Advertisers and categories nationwide in radio advertising?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6692 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/100.jpg?resize=379%2C170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Top advertisers nationwide\" width=\"379\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/100.jpg?w=379&amp;ssl=1 379w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/100.jpg?resize=300%2C135&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6693 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/101.jpg?resize=376%2C170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Top categories nationwide\" width=\"376\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/101.jpg?w=376&amp;ssl=1 376w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/101.jpg?resize=300%2C136&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Observation\"><\/span>Observation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The government of India is the biggest advertiser (in terms of advertising spots) on radio advertising nationwide. Radio is a low-cost mass media and can be used effectively for creating brand awareness about various schemes as well as act as reminders for important dates like last day for linking Aadhar with PAN card or last date for ITR filing. The top 5 campaigns run by Govt of India on the radio were- Aadhar, IT Dept Updates, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.<\/li>\n<li>Bhartiya Janata Party was the biggest advertiser (advertising spots) in Banglore during the months of April-May 2018.<\/li>\n<li>Services-Internet category consists of all the web-based companies of India across industries and sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Housing Real Estate is the third largest category in radio advertising, there is no single brand among the top players.

Looking at the data collected, we can see that the advertising pattern for the last three months is consistent with this finding. High-ticket items like housing, automobiles, and jewellery and consumer durables claim a high percentage of ad spots. We also learn that local and regional players form a significant group of advertisers. Another thing that we can infer from this data is that the advertising mix varies in pretext of various factors- significant events, festivals, temperature, food preferences etc.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.themediaant.com\/radio-advertising\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Radio Advertising<\/a> and Radio Advertising Rates?
