Before COVID-19, most listening to Charlotte radio happened outside the home. Consumers were tuning-in to their favorite stations from the car on the way to their job. Then, they tuned-in when they arrived at work. They listened again during the commute back home.
Nielsen recently surveyed consumers who worked from home before and during the novel coronavirus outbreak. The results show, as of June, 66% of respondents now work from home full-time as a consequence of the pandemic.
As consumers are compelled to work from their houses and curtail their commutes, the share of at-home listening to Charlotte radio has grown by 19%, according to Nielsen.
Among homebound employees, Nielsen discovered that listening to music on radio remains an important part of their working hours.
Despite the disruptions to work-life and commuting habits, 946,600 adult consumers spend, on average, two hours per day listening to Charlotte radio. This time spent with radio is unchanged from a year ago.
Beginning on March 18, 1922, when WBT signed-on as the first radio station serving Charlotte, North Carolina, small business owners have depended on local radio to market their goods and services through recessions, depressions, and natural disasters. All the research indicates that AM/FM radio is as dependable now as it was then.More Advertising Advice For Charlotte Small Business Owners
