Notable Quotes 3
Nielsen has affirmed radio's status as an impressive reach medium: -271 million Americans 6+ listen to radio each week, and radio reaches -93% of adults weekly (for reference, TV reaches -89%).
Overall we continue to maintain a sufficient comfort level that near-torm trends are not falling off a cliff (as seen in other segments of media).
Current yields in the space are well in excess of other media sub-sectors and the market overall. As in prior years, this is mainly a reflection of where the debt of a couple of the largest issuers, iHeartMedia and Cumulus, are trading.
