Ofcom publishes its latest look at the UK’s media habits

30.07.2025 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

Ofcom has published Media Nations 2025, its latest research looking at the media habits of people in the UK. The UK media regulator says: "Live radio continues to be resilient, despite the other audio content that’s available. According to RAJAR, which uses a focused radio survey, almost nine in ten UK adults aged 15 and over (87%) tuned into the radio for an average of 20.5 hours per week in the first quarter of 2025. The most-used platform for radio is DAB, accounting for 42% of listening hours, followed by AM/FM at 27%." The report itself also notes: "Much of commercial radio’s success in increasing its share of listening stems from increased DAB coverage, and a push from the sector to maximise use of the existing multiplexes and radio brands."
