New Survey Findings Show Christian Radio Ranks High Among Listeners During Pandemic

SOUTHLAKE, Texas - EntSun -- Finney Media, a Christian Media consultancy based in Southlake, Texas, is releasing its findings from the 2021 Why Listen® Survey. The nationwide survey takes a look into the attitudes and behaviors of Christian radio listeners in Listenership Reasons, Tuneouts, Giving and other key measures. Expanded this year was a look into how listeners are engaging with their Christian radio stations and programs through podcasts and social media.

"The past year has changed the way many of us work and live," said Chuck Finney, President. "Christian radio has been that safe haven for so many during a very difficult year. The Christian broadcaster's role continues to evolve."

Among the findings in the 2021 survey, Christian radio listeners are highly likely to recommend their Christian radio station or program to friends and family. This year's Net Promoter Score overall of +77, moved up from +71 from the 2018 Why Listen Survey.

Nearly 11,000 Christian radio listeners of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), Teaching Stations/Programs, and Hybrid stations from around the United States participated in the survey, the third Finney Media Why Listen® Survey. Previous surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2018.
