35 Summary

36 Key Take-Aways Potential access to Audio whether broadcast or Internet-based is virtually universal. The multiple platforms used by ESPN Audio add notably to the reach of ESPN terrestrial radio among Men 18-54, combining to extend daily reach by half. Internet audio usage is mostly due to not having access to terrestrial radio, desire to hear a missed terrestrial radio program, or to listen again to a program that was on terrestrial radio. Attitudes to advertising on sports audio is fairly positive for terrestrial radio, streaming, and downloading.
