JP Morgan analysts John Blackledge and Aaron Chew on Friday (Aug. 17) released their “Internet Radio Scorecard” for June 2007 and found that unique visitors to Internet radio increased 4% in June 2006, both sequentially and on a year-to-year basis.
“Internet radio has experienced solid gains in unique visitors since 2006, up over 2% per month, with terrestrial operators up 5% per month during that time period,” they say.
But it doesn’t happen on the cheap. The report notes that “these gains were driven in part by the terrestrial operators investing more capital into their digital/online operations.”
Clear Channel claims the largest total Internet audience, with about 17% of an estimated audience of 27 million unique users. “We believe Clear Channel’s growth is instrumental in driving growth for terrestrial operators as a whole,” say Blackledge and Chew.
Still, Clear Channel Internet sites saw a 3% decline in June, which “likely restrained growth for the terrestrial group as a whole.”
