Brandwatch Report
“ There’s no such thing as radio per se anymore – or television or
advertising agencies – it all falls under the same banner called “media”
which includes social media as part of its tapestry. And if you’re a
broadcaster reaching zillions of ears, your job is to give those ears
something to do and someplace to go whether or not it’s to a website
devoted to your radio station. The opportunity for radio brands to harness
the power of social media is now. ”

The proliferation of digital technology and social media placed pressure upon radio broadcasters to adapt to a litany of rapid changes in listener behavior.
Here at Brandwatch, we’re fascinated about the ways in which social media can be harnessed to connect brands with customers and audiences, but also the rich wealth of insights that analyzing social media can provide organizations with.
This report reveals insights surrounding 20 of the top US radio stations, identifying trends, spotting challenges and evaluating which stations are best at capitalizing upon the opportunities that Twitter presents.
To gather these insights, Brandwatch carefully selected a sample of 20 radio stations that best represent the market, ZLSLJ[PUN�JOHUULSZ�MYVT�LHJO�NLUYL��;OL�ÄUKPUNZ�WYLZLU[�valuable information into how audiences are interacting with radio stations on Twitter and, in turn, how radio stations can optimize the potential of the platform.

The top topics of audience conversation were celebrities, links to media and discussion about show content.
Celebrity culture is a main driver of conversation, with over a quarter of all listener mentions relating to celebrity news, interviews or songs. This provides a good chance for radio stations to not only better understand content preferences of their audience, but to also devise strategies that encourage listeners to engage through Twitter.
Listeners are proud of their cities, and references to their home city was one of the top mentioned topics.
Song requests were dominated in large volumes by certain groups of superfans, such as “Monsters” and “Beliebers.”

Over the period analyzed, 1% of the conversation was negative. Although a seemingly small number, it accounts for 3,200 mentions, very few of which were responded to.
32% of social customers expect a response to a complaint within 30 minutes. Research by Nielsen demonstrates that 71% of consumers who experience a quick brand response are likely to share that with others.

41% of radio stations’ direct @interactions were directed at celebrities, and 32% toward brands.
When mentioning celebrities, the radio stations tend to use them as either a source of news content, or talk to those who are appearing on the show.
The number of interactions with brands demonstrates the high reliance on advertising relationships and another lost chance to interact with fans. The low volume of listener conversation suggests that this approach to brands is not resonating with fans in any great depth.
73% of broadcaster interactions are with celebrities and brands, not listeners.

Tweets that do not reference a brand receive more interactions than those that do.
Although radio broadcasters are not @mentioning their fans very often, mentioning celebrities is a successful way to engage with them. Tweets that mentioned a celebrity received ten times more interaction than those that didn’t.
However, the data also illustrates that if radio stations overindulge in their engagement with brands, followers are quick to lose interest.
Tweets that mention brands receive less interaction from fans.

The top periods for audience tweet activity are before midday and each evening.
Radio stations are taking advantage of some peak times but are missing out on other key opportunities. For example, the peak moment for audience chatter is around 11am, yet radio stations focus activity much later in the day.
