Is there any place where we can get numbers on how many radio listeners there are in a region? I feel like it's less and less popular these days, and yet I heard one station recently stating that advertising on radio reached more people than TV advertisements.

I don't listen to radio much anymore. One of the reasons was stated by Adveser in another thread regarding the quality of sound. When you can hear so much more with a CD, or an MP3 player, it makes it harder to want to listen to the lesser quality on radio. Plus, I really don't want to listen to commercials. The radio stations can give all the statistics they want about how many people are listening and therefore advertising gets more audience, but how many switch stations when a commercial comes on, or turn down the radio to avoid the advertisement?
Music is a tonic for the tired and weary mind

Where I live, radios are still pretty popular, especially among cab drivers. They listen to the radio all the time, may it be for news or music. I really appreciate it too. I actually am a radio fan myself. I'd rather turn the radio on then play a CD. Unless they talk too much which is the biggest turn off for radio stations..
