According to the most recently available data, in 2022 just 12.2 percent of surveyed radio stations reported that they were showing profit, less than half the figure reported for the year 2000. Interestingly, the data reveals that in each year the majority of surveyed directors and managers reported that they did not know whether their stations were showing profitability or not.
