Do you listen to an actual radio program coming to you over the airwaves every day and are you old or young
[1] an actual one, a box that is a radio, a radio set, a thing that isn’t anything else except being a radio, eg FM AM DAB, not internet, not a computer, not IP connected, not radio through a Freeview television set (which provides about the best reception by the way, beating DAB by a long chalk, but that’s not what I’m referring to as a radio here) -
@u0421793 I'm the wrong demographic as I'm relatively old (Radio 1 was mostly on AM when I was young). If I hadn't won a DAB radio a few years back I wouldn't have listened to radio other than via the Internet or Satellite. Had a lovely Reciva Internet radio before the service folded. I wonder re a younger demographic too if even I barely listen to FM or DAB & rarely live.

@emsquared @u0421793 I very much doubt folks younger than 40s/50s ever listen to a pure radio or radio much at all. For me it’s only in the car. Admittedly DAB is non existent where I am in SW France and my listening skills are not good either which makes it harder. In the U.K. I listened to Radio 4 a fair bit but as much via their podcast as as live. Commercial radio adverts annoy the hell out of me.

@bobthomson70 @u0421793 Rajar have some great info graphics but the majority of radio listening is now online. Hard to find age demographics but the swing is seemingly to commercial radio (which amazes me as most UK commercial radio is deathly dull).
-
@emsquared @bobthomson70 that’s another thing – my world is almost entirely BBC on telly and the radio is permanently on Radio 1 only, I just don’t live in a commercial broadcast world
(On YouTube which I watch on our telly, I’ve succeeded in ‘training’ it to only show me adverts which I like, which is quite a lot of them, and no adverts I don’t like, which is the ones with internal combustion killing machines in them) -
@u0421793 @bobthomson70 I guess the thing with AV media now is that it is fragmented. I don't watch any telly or streaming & listen to hardly any UK based radio either so, like many my experience is more self-tailored than in my formative years (Radio 1,BBC London, Capital (Capital FFS) . I expect to witness a very different TV & radio landscape even in the years I have left.
