People assume “Millennials aren’t spending as much time with AM/FM radio.” Advertiser Perceptions, the advertiser sentiment experts, recently polled 305 marketers and agencies on 18-34 radio listening momentum.

The perception:

Six out of 10 polled marketers/agencies believe radio listening is dropping among 18- to 34-year-olds.

The reality:

Radio listening is up 11% among 18-34s, according to Nielsen’s March Portable People Meter.

Once again, perception is not reality.
