The latest data from McNair yellowSquares indicates 144,000 more people are listening to Christian Radio in Australia compared to last year.
The latest data for December 2024 reports that 2,007,000 Australians are now listening to Christian radio each week (up from 1,863,000 in the same survey last year).
They spend 9.7 hours listening to Christian radio each week which has remained consistent over the last year, and where most radio listeners will switch between a few stations that they listen to, 188,000 listeners say they exclusively listen to Christian radio (up from 168,000).
The Community Radio Listener Survey is a survey of the community radio listening habits of Australians.
It is a mixed-mode survey comprising online, telephone and street-intercept interviewing Australians over the age of 15. A single respondent database across all methods ensures an integrated balance of respondents across Australia. The research is coordinated on behalf of the entire Community Broadcasting sector, through the CBAA. The survey is conducted by McNair yellowSquares, an accredited Australian market and social research organisation with a long history of media research dating back to the first radio audience surveys held in the 1930s.
Christian radio listening figures are a measure of both Australian Christian Community Radio Stations and the Vision Radio Network.
