The online company published the report to entice more advertisers who are traditional radio media buyers.
“Radio is radio,” said Tim Westergren, Pandora’s founder. “Pandora is simply a smart buy for local advertisers as well as national ones.”
“Terrestrial radio engages with listeners in a unique way that Pandora cannot,” according to Deborah O’Rell of Urban Communications. “But those numbers are [good] enough to be considered.”
Z100 and all Clear Channel stations also amped up its online service iHeartRadio to counter Pandora. More here
