Bridge Ratings: Dave Van Dyke For decades, radio’s “prime time” was predictable: morning drive and afternoon commute. The routines of work and school dictated when listeners tuned in. But the rise of smart speakers — Alexa, Google Home, Siri — has disrupted this rhythm, opening up entirely new listening windows that traditional radio must recognize and capitalize on. Smart speakers are now present in over 40% of U.S. households, and […]

Nuvoodoo Research: Leigh Jacobs & Carolyn Gilbert With the deep history between radio and music, many of us recall a time when radio was the top of the heap when for music discovery. To understand where things stand today, we first need to determine who’s interested in new music. Across a sample of over 2,900 people nationwide, 57% give a very high rating to the importance of “hearing new songs […]

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could soon return to full operational status following Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-SD) filing of cloture Thursday night on the nomination of Olivia Trusty, a former Trump communications advisor, to fill one of the agency’s vacant commissioner seats.

Bridge Ratings: Dave Van Dyke For decades, the call-in line was the gold standard of audience interaction in radio. It wasn’t just a gimmick—it was the lifeblood of community-building, giving listeners a voice in the programming. Whether it was requesting a favorite song, weighing in on a hot topic, or winning a contest, that single phone line created a two-way street in a traditionally one-way medium. But times—and tools—have changed. […]

The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) is speaking out against what it calls the dangerous and indiscriminate targeting of journalists covering recent immigration-related protests in the Los Angeles area. This week, RTDNA joined more than two dozen press freedom and civil liberties organizations in signing a joint letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The letter condemns the treatment of journalists by federal law enforcement during protests […]

The hottest topic in real time for radio: Immigration-related protests are planned this weekend in several cities across the US, including Atlanta and Roswell, GA, due to ongoing immigration enforcement operations and the administration’s decision to mobilize the National Guard. Some of these protests are expected to be peaceful, while others may involve clashes with law enforcement. Elaboration: Protests are planned: Activists are organizing demonstrations, including “No Kings” events on […]
