Radio audiences continue to dwindle

The number of people tuning in to the radio continues to dwindle, as evidenced by the latest Radioprojekt survey that the polling agency Median conducted on a sample of 3,555 respondents between April 27 and July 19. All five of the most-listened-to radio stations in Slovakia saw their audience numbers fall on an annual basis, with the listenership as a whole now under 90 percent after falling to 89.9 percent, or 4.02 million listeners. It represents a drop from 91.8 percent from the same period of 2014. Top of the charts for the most popular radio stations underwent no changes, as Radio Expres remained atop (34.5 percent), followed by Radio Slovensko (29.8 percent), Fun Radio (23.2 percent), Radio Jemne ('Radio Light') on 16.8 percent and Europe 2 Radio (15.5 percent).
