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