Audacy says that the latest edition of its Connected Car study reveals that “AM/FM radio stands out for its trusted voices and reliable local coverage of news, traffic, weather, and sports.” Among the findings of this latest edition of the study is when it comes to breaking local news, weather news or
traffic news, drivers turn to local radio over social media or phone apps. The study asked drivers about their use of their infotainment system use and 69% said they use it for first for controlling audio content; 68% said navigation was their primary use, and 66% said they use it first for making phone calls. Audacy adds, “Today’s drivers – especially the tech-savvy ones – expect their Audio to follow them everywhere. Whether they’re finishing a podcast from the office to the car or switching from music on the road to the gym, they want their content to move with them. Nearly all AI intenders (93%) say seamless podcast listening is a must, and 73% say the same about radio.” See more about the study here.
