DAB takes 61% of U.K. in-car radio listening

03.08.2026 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

DAB accounted for 61% of in-car radio listening in the United Kingdom during Q1 2026, according to media regulator Ofcom’s “Media Nations 2026” report. That represents an increase from 56% in Q1 2025, while AM/FM’s share fell from 37% to 33%. Ofcom found that access and convenience appear to influence in-car platform choices more strongly than age. Among listeners aged 15–24, DAB accounted for 56% of in-car radio listening in Q1 2026, compared with 37% for AM/FM and 8% for internet delivery. Digital broadcast radio therefore held a clear majority of listening hours even among the youngest age group measured by RAJAR.
