Radio Ad Revenues Up 3.4% Across All Markets For 2018

Commercial radio metropolitan ad revenue showed growth across all markets in the 2018 calendar year, according to data compiled by Deloitte and released today by industry body Commercial Radio Australia (CRA).

Radio ad revenue rose 3.4 per cent to $809.421 million in the five markets for January to December 2018 compared to the same time in 2017.

The Deloitte figures report actual revenue received by metropolitan commercial radio stations and include all metropolitan agency and direct revenue.
