3 INTRODUCTION WELCOME TO THE SIXTH EDITION OF THE COMMERCIAL RADIO MARKET PROFILES Australian commercial radio stations are a vital and integral part of their local communities. Australians have always had a relationship with, and trust in, their local radio station and this close connection can help build a solid foundation for all stakeholders including direct advertisers, agencies and clients. Even as technology changes commercial radio remains live and local continuing to offer advertisers an unique means of delivering a targeted message and successfully engaging at a grassroots level. Listening to a radio ad has been likened to hearing it from a friend. The Commercial Radio Profiles are a reference tool to help communicate with advertising agencies, media buyers and potential clients for planning radio advertising in Australia. They are designed to provide a thorough understanding of each radio licence area s size and demographics and to highlight the connection and engagement opportunities available on local and networked radio. These Commercial Radio Profiles should be used in conjunction with resources available on the (CRA) website, radioalive.com.au, with up to date case studies, current station information, commercial radio listening summaries and consumer research which explores why Australians tune into radio. The information in these profiles is based on radio Licence Area Plans (LAP), as determined by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Statistical information is derived from the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics Census of Population and Housing conducted on 9 August 2016, the Household Expenditure Survey, and the Agricultural Census. The Commercial Radio Profiles 2018 illustrate the potential of the localism, cost effectiveness, reach, and listener loyalty and engagement of commercial radio. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the CRA ing Team on , or visit the website: radioalive.com.au. Regards, Joan Warner Chief Executive Officer 3
