It’s time to start talking about our digital audiences in the same breadth as the rest of our stations. “Measuring an aggregated analogue and digital audience means we are giving our clients the ability to access more reach than ever before with an additional 360,000 listeners. And SCA is able to monetise all of our stations, be they FM or digital.”

"That's why digital terrestrial is the way to bring radio into the digital future, complemented by the possibilities of the 5G standard, ie an unregulated market with restricted access for listeners," says Struber.
