2018년 1분기 매주 라디오를 청취하는 비율 95%
Dubai, UAE – May 2, 2018: According to Nielsen, a global measurement and data analytics company, 95% of the total UAE population aged 10 and above tuned into radio every week in first-quarter 2018, which is a 2% increase (135,000 listeners) in reach compared to the previous quarter. Nielsen’s UAE Radio Audience Measurement, which measures listenership for 52 radio stations across the country among all individuals aged 10+, also revealed that this growth is seen predominantly in 25-44 year olds and is driven by residents in Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates. Dubai also remains a very strong radio hub for listening.
흥미로운 점은 아랍에미리트의 모든 국적 중에서 필리핀인, 이란인, 아프가니스탄인의 2018년 1분기 라디오 청취 증가율이 전 분기 대비 가장 높았으며, 이는 이들 언어로 방송하는 방송국의 청취율과 일치한다는 점입니다.
평일에는 오전 7시에서 9시, 오후 2시에서 4시, 오후 6시에서 8시까지 세 번의 청취 피크 시간이 있지만, 아랍에미리트 사람들은 일반적인 생각과는 달리 하루 중 훨씬 늦은 시간대에 라디오를 청취하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났습니다. 닐슨은 2017년 4분기 조사에서 이러한 경향을 확인했으며, 2018년 1분기 데이터에서는 라디오 청취자의 누적 도달 범위가 오후 4시~8시(초저녁 청취자 8,000명 증가)와 오후 8시~12시(심야 청취자 27,000명 증가) 사이에 증가하면서 이러한 경향이 더욱 강해졌음을 확인했습니다. 이 기간 동안 라디오에 대한 높은 참여도는 주로 24시간 도시로 간주되는 아부다비와 두바이에서 청취자가 주도했습니다. 이러한 심야 시간대 청취자들은 주로 24~44세의 연령대로, 가족 및 친구들과 만나기 위해 외출하거나 이동하는 경우가 많습니다.
Radio continues to have the greatest reach among higher income earners. Of the higher tier income levels, social class AB (earning AED 30,000 or more per month) and class C1 (earning AED 10,000 – 30,000 per month), there is almost universal penetration, reaching 98% of these listeners respectively. Radio has a slightly lower reach amongst the lowest monthly income levels, social class DE, however is still listened to by 89% of them. Aside from various income categories, radio reach and time spent listening also varies by location. Abu Dhabi, which previously recorded the same reach for listenership as Sharjah, overtook all Emirates in first-quarter 2018 as the location where radio is most popular (Abu Dhabi 98% reach, versus Sharjah 95% reach, and Dubai 92% reach).
“From the results, it is evident that as a medium, radio remains exceptionally strong in the UAE, despite the increasing influence of digital mediums in the country. We have found very high levels of listening with 66.2 million hours of radio listened to across all seven Emirates in an average week, and with listeners each tuning in for an average of 8 hours 25 minutes every week,” said Sarah Messer, Director Media – Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, Nielsen. Messer added, “With such a marked increase in the reach of radio in the late evenings, it’s possible that UAE residents have been taking advantage of the cooler winter evenings to spend more time out of their home.”
아랍에미리트 라디오 오디언스 측정(RAM) 정보
The UAE RAM started with an Establishment Survey of 17,000 face to face interviews across all seven emirates in the UAE to enable Nielsen to determine population dynamics and ensure its collection of radio data would be balanced and representative. A ‘hybrid diary’ methodology was used for the research, introducing both a traditional paper diary and an innovative electronic diary to respondents, to measure robust information on radio listening. Every quarter, 2,100 people aged 10 and above, representing all nationalities and languages across the emirates are asked to record their radio listening activities for seven consecutive days. They record their listening in 15-minute time-slots for the entire week in their chosen diary format.
Nielsen’s UAE RAM data covers a range of demographic and lifestyle insights which can be combined with all the radio-listening behaviour metrics captured, including household demography, program ranking, time spent listening, device used for listening, place of listening, ebb and flow reports and station loyalty. Nielsen’s UAE RAM is audited by professional services firm PwC. High quality media currencies around the world are audited. PwC’s audience measurement team monitors Nielsen activities closely and examine the methodology used in preparing the UAE RAM offering and provide independent assurance over the application of the methodology in calculating and reporting the UAE RAM data.
