Digital radio sales ahead of forecasts

Australians are increasingly listening to digital radio broadcasts, with 1.2 million people, on average, tuning in to digital broadcasts every week, ahead of the original forecasts for the fledgling industry.

As well as the 1.2 million listeners to digital radio every week, CRA reports that close to 800,000 digital radios have been sold. The CRA report reveals that over the Christmas 2011 and New Year 2012 period, digital radio sales recorded the highest jump to date, with a total of 180,546 devices sold between October 2011 and January 2012.

CRA says these sales figures are outperforming the original forecast and have prompted an update to the PwC Forecast for Digital Radio Adoption, with PwC now showing that household penetration of DAB+ digital radio is forecast to reach 16 percent by December 2013 and 18 percent by June 2014.

According to Commercial Radio Australia CEO, Joan Warner, digital radio sales and listening have increased despite one of the worst retail climates for decades.

The commercial radio industry has invested in the promotion of digital radio and worked very hard with retailers. We've put our money where our mouth is and used our medium to tell our listeners about digital radio. Once again, results highlight just how well radio works.

While the latest market summary information is very pleasing, the overall aim of the industry is to ensure digital radio is available in all areas of Australia. Extensive work is also underway on the planning for digital radio rollout to regional Australia and proposed timelines are being developed for discussions with the Federal Government, Warner commented.

The Digital Radio Industry Report 2012, is the third report compiled by CRA and includes data from the official radio industry audience measurement survey provider, Nielsen, consumer electronics market research company GfK, market research organisations, the Hoop Group and HOED and an update on the household uptake forecast from PwC.

Uptake of, and time spent listening (TSL) to, digital radio has increased according to the report released today by CRA. Major findings of the report, including information from Neilsen, GfK Marketscope and PWC, are:

Voters in St. Louis, KC Agree to Keep Earnings Tax

By Austin Robertson

CREATED Apr. 5, 2011

(AP) - Residents in St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. overwhelmingly agreed Tuesday to retain their 1% earnings taxes, passing on a significant tax cut but keeping a revenue source that provides a huge chunk of the budget in both of Missouri's big cities.

Complete but unofficial results show the St. Louis earnings tax passed with 88 percent of the vote, while Kansas City residents favored the tax by a 3-to-1 margin.

The votes were necessary after a statewide ballot proposition that passed in November required a renewal vote every five years on the earnings taxes in both cities. Proposition A also forbids any other Missouri municipality from adopting an earnings tax.

The tax accounts for $140 million, or about one-third, of the St. Louis budget, and $200 million, about two-fifths, of Kansas City's.

"I was confident that the people of St. Louis would do the right thing for the future of the city if they were armed with the facts," St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said. "Regardless of what anyone thought of the earnings tax, it would have been irresponsible to get rid of it without a viable alternative to replace it."

There was no organized opposition in St. Louis.

In Kansas City, Mayor-elect Sly James said it was clear the city's residents recognized the importance of the tax.

"It means that this city is going to continue to try and become as efficient as possible, but we're not going to have to do it with one hand tied behind our backs," he said.
