Listening via digital TV also passed a marker, with more than a third of all adults saying they have done it. Tuning in to radio on TV is done at least once a week by 19.9% of adults, up from 17.3% a year ago.
Listening via mobile phone is yet to take off, although the 6.1% of adults who have tried it is the highest proportion yet. A year ago, the proportion was 5.2%.
The internet is up with digital TV, with 19.7% of adults having listened to radio in this way, up from 16.1% a year ago. Station websites are increasing in popularity, with 28.3% having visited one compared with 25.3% a year ago.
