In 2019, more than the majority of French people say they listen to broadcast radio regularly, making it the most listened to type of radio in France. Online radio and web radio, although less popular, are also making their way into the daily lives of the French listeners.
A varied medium
Radio is a medium that stands out for its great adaptability, which is its strength with French listeners. The car radio is the device most used by French consumers to listen to the radio, followed by radio sets and smartphones. Electronic tools such as tablets or laptops are managing to make their way to the top due to the rise of online radio, which has experienced renewed interest in recent years. Listening to online radio and music brings together listeners of all ages and concerns all age groups of French people.
The revolution of podcasts
Podcasts are a new kind of audio content that has completely exploded in terms of popularity and quantity in France. The topics covered are very varied, from socio-political, environmental or entertainment issues to branded podcasts, created and promoted by companies. The most popular podcasts register hundreds of thousands of plays and thus take a prominent place in the French audio landscape.
