[creative-radio] Re: Research into Australian talk radio audiences now available

 

Dear Colleagues
For those interested in media audiences and talkback radio, the link below
will take you to Australia's first extensive study of talkback radio
audiences.
As part of this study, talkback (also known as talk radio) listeners and
callers discussed a range of topics, including why they listen to and/or
call talkback, the role it plays in their lives and how they use it.
You can access the full report here:

I hope you enjoy reading about the research and its findings.
Regards
