AM/FM Radio To Boost Holiday Retail
Wednesday Nov 26, 2025
Thanksgiving and Black Friday kick off one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. According to Nielsen, AM/FM reaches 77% of adults 18+ each week leading into Thanksgiving, with reach climbing to 78% during Christmas week...
The holiday season also brings a surge in listening. MRI data shows nearly 80 million adults plan to listen to holiday music on AM/FM or via streaming with listening peaking on weekends leaving more time in cars where people are highly more active... no wonder the word, "Happy" is applied so often to Thanksgiving...

My first full-time job while attending Pat Weaver's "School of Radio & TV Technique" in Manhattan was in the mailroom of the ABC Radio & TV Network. While there were many memorable press releases I remember sending out like the one in 1957 that "American Bandstand" was going network, was one announcing that Alan Freed had been signed to WABC. Sadly he didn't last long. On Nov. 21, 1969 He was released for refusing to deny he had accepted payola...This was a crusher for me. Freed inspired me to decide on radio for my career...Sound familiar, Joe McCoy?

Most AM/FM Radio Listening Remains on Radio Receivers.
The dramatic rise of digital audio platforms and technologies over the last decade has been chronicled by Edison Research's "Share of Ear" study. Listening to streamed audio content on phones, computers, smart speakers and smart televisions now dominates the audio sphere. While AM/FM radio is available on all these digital devices, the radio receiver remains the dominant device the U.S. 13+ population uses to listen to AM/FM radio during an average day...Proof once again that the traditional radio receiver continues to dominate all other devices...
