During an average week in between fall 2021 and fall 2023, 50.1 percent of 'Classical' radio listeners in the United States were over 65 years of age. Considering the distribution of various radio formats' audience by age, it is clear to see that this genre is less appealing to the young, with only 4.3 percent of adults aged under 25 tuning in to "Classical" radio.
