In today’s connected world, radio has transformed into a truly anytime, anywhere, anyhow

experience.

The MIDAS Survey is designed to provide context and insight into how when and where radio

content is being consumed in this liberated environment.

With the increasing penetration of connected devices such as tablets and smartphones, MIDAS shows

how listeners are embracing the multi-platform and multi-device offering, as well as how radio-on-

demand is contributing to listening behaviour. It also reveals the activities they are doing whilst

listening, where they are listening, and who they are listening with.
