Radio 24 celebrates ratings results and its first 25 years

Radio 24 begins to celebrate its first 25 years with an excellent performance in the first half of 2024 listeners surveyed by ERA: it is the only broadcaster with a positive sign on all three average day comparisons, registering growth of 1.6% compared to the first half of 2023, 4.8% compared to the second half of 2023 and 2.8% compared to the whole year 2023, for a total of 2,297,000 listeners on the average day.

The quality of information and the ability to engage listeners is confirmed, thanks also to the digital transformation carried out over the past year with the new Radio 24 - 4.0 platform, which has recorded exceptional results on all the main indicators.
The strong connection with the audience is further confirmed by the record number of downloads of Radio 24 podcasts set in May, the highest ever: 9.3 million listeners, an increase of 24% compared to the same half of the previous year.

The loyalty and strong participation of the public is also demonstrated by the enthusiastic adhesion to the initiative 'La trasmissione che non c'è' ('The broadcast that isn't there') conceived to celebrate 25 years of the 24 ORE Group broadcaster, and by the success at the Festival dell'Economia di Trento, where Radio 24 was the protagonist both with 22 live broadcasts in the squares and with six live shows that sold out.

"The growing ratings we achieved in the first half of the year underline the importance of a radio station that presides over free, autonomous, independent, in-depth and competent information, distinctive elements of Radio 24's way of doing news for 25 years, acknowledged and appreciated by the general public in a media context even besieged by too much routine information and fake news" - comments the Editor-in-Chief of Radio 24 and the 24 ORE Group Fabio Tamburini - "I would like to thank our editorial staff for its ability to always provide timely coverage and in-depth analysis of news, politics, economics and current affairs, thanks also to the synergy and collaboration of all the journalists and correspondents of the daily newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore and the news agency Radiocor. Radio 24 confirms its uniqueness, which is its founding characteristic and strong point'.

"The results, in contrast to the radio scene, confirm the validity and strength of the choices made on a schedule that in recent years has been able to innovate but without ever losing Radio 24's original vocation," emphasises Radio 24's Deputy Executive Director Sebastiano Barisoni, "and thus to maintain its informative strength thanks to the work of its news colleagues, combining this with the capacity for objective analysis and the often public service function of its programmes.
