Radio posts tough quarter: Regional revenue down, digital up
Commercial radio revenue has fallen slightly in the second quarter of 2025, which the CRA credits to a drop in election advertising spend, and the softening of “a few key brand categories.”
Total radio revenue for the quarter was $309.2 million, slightly down from $309.9m in the same quarter of 2024.
Broken down into categories, metro radio brought in $177.1 million, down from $178.2 million year-on-year.
