Early Findings
According to Nielson, the Average Quarter-Hour (AQH) share of sports radio listeners aged 18-34 in 2017 (Nov) was
4.3%
. (
AHQ refers to
"the average number of persons listening to a particular station for at least five minutes during a 15-minute period").
AGE
Overall, the
third-highest
age demographic of sports radio include listeners aged
35-44
(behind older generations) with a 19% share. From this information we can assume that older millennials are more likely to be a sports radio listener compared to younger millennials.

5.9%
live on their own,
4.5%
are starting a family, and
3.3%
are dependent adults.
According to Statista,

of the listeners of sports radio programs were aged

.
Gender
In terms of gender, sports radio listeners are more likely to be male,
86%
for streaming sports compared to
85%
on-air.

45
% of sports radio listeners are college-educated while
55%
have an income above
