    [MxM Radio] RAMcheck: Mixed fortunes for Mirchi

    By A Correspondent

     

    TAM Media’s Radio Audience Measurement (RAM) – which covers four key metros, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru – released its latest radio listenership figures for Wk 47- Wk 50 (Last two weeks of November and 1st week of December 2011) and Wk 51- Wk 2 (Last three weeks of December 2011 and 1st week of January 2012).

     

    According to the latest RAM data, for listeners of 12 years and above, and according to radio channel shares, Radio Mirchi, Radio City, Fever FM, Big FM, Red FM, Radio One, Oye! FM were some of the top FM stations in the big four metros.

     

    Mumbai:

    There is some amount of volatility for the number one spot in the Mumbai market. The latest RAM data for week 51 to week 2 has brought back Radio Mirchi as the number one FM radio station in Mumbai. The lead over Radio City is marginal. What remains to be seen is whether next month, Radio City regains the numero uno position or will Radio Mirchi retain the number one spot. It may be recalled that Radio Mirchi had long retained the leadership position in Mumbai until Radio City toppled it to become the number one FM radio station in terms of market share.

     

    Ranked three is AIR FM2 Gold which has more or less remained stagnant in listenership share followed by Big FM and Fever FM, ranked four and five respectively. Both Big FM and Fever FM made slight gains in week 51 to wk 2, 2012 as against week 47 to week 50, 2011. The other FM stations in Mumbai market include, Red FM, Radio One, Oye! FM, AIR FM1 Rainbow, Vividh Bharati and Akashavani Mumbai.

     

     

    Delhi:

    Once known as a Radio Mirchi stronghold, Delhi today has become quite an unpredictable market for FM radio listenership. This is what wk 51 to wk 2, 2012 RAM data reveals, according to the latest RAM data, Fever FM has reclaimed the numero uno position from AIR FM2 Gold to become the most popular FM station in Delhi while Radio Mirchi continues to rank three in listenership share. Interestingly the battle for the number one position is between Fever FM and AIR FM2 Gold, what remains to be seen is whether Radio Mirchi bounces back to reclaim the number one spot or whether Fever FM continues to lead among the private FM stations.

     

    A distant fourth is Radio City followed by Red FM and Big FM ranked fifth and sixth respectively. Although Fever FM is leading the Delhi market it has shown a decline in listenership. The other FM stations to have grown in listenership shares are Radio City, Big FM, Oye! FM and Hit FM. The other FM stations in Delhi are AIR FM1 Rainbow, Vividh Bharati and Akashavani Delhi.

     

     

    Bengaluru:

    The Bengaluru market has also seen a sea change in FM listenership rankings. Once a Big FM stronghold, the market is now dominated by Radio City which has not only retained its leadership position in Bengaluru, but has also significantly increased its listenership. Close behind Radio City is Radio Mirchi followed by Big FM, a distant third and Red FM ranked four. Radio City, Radio Mirchi and Red FM are the only FM stations to have seen an increase in listenership share on wk 51 to wk 2, 2012 as compared to the wk 47 to wk 50, 2011 RAM data. The other FM stations in this market are Fever FM, Radio One, Radio Indigo, AIR FM1 Rainbow, and Akashavani Bangalore.

     

     

    Kolkata:

    The only RAM market which has maintained the status-quo in listenership ranking; Radio Mirchi continues to be the most popular FM station in Kolkata, followed by Big FM and Friends FM continues to rank third. Radio Mirchi is comfortably at number one position in Kolkata with 23.3 per cent of the listenership share followed by Big FM which is a distant second with 17.4 per cent share and Friends FM with 14.9 per cent of the listenership share.

    RAMcheck: Most popular FM stations heard out of home
    
			
    By A Correspondent
    

     
    

    Unlike our regular RAMcheck reports which didn’t differentiate between any places of listening, this time MxMIndia decided to concentrate exclusively on radio channels’ out of home (OOH) listenership. According to RAM (Radio Audience Measurement), the OOH listeners include listenership in cars, at work and other out of home places. TAM Media’s Radio Audience Measurement from week 40-43, 2011 to week 52- 3, 2012 reveals the most popular FM radio station out of home. RAM is currently present in four metros – Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata.
    

     
    

    Mumbai:
    

    According to the RAM data for OOH listenership, the top five FM stations for Mumbaikars are Radio Mirchi, Big FM, Radio City, Fever FM and Red FM, excluding the government-owned AIR FM2 Gold. The radio stations, from week 40- 43, 2011 to week 52 to 3, 2012, have not seen much variation in their channel shares.
    

    

     
    

    Delhi:
    

    In Delhi AIR FM2 Gold is the most popular FM station followed by Fever FM, a strong number two in OOH listenership share. While the number one and two slots have a clear position in OOH listenership, there is no clear winner for the number three position. There is a close fight for number three position between Radio Mirchi, Radio City and Red FM. However in Wk 52′ 2011 to Wk 3′ 2012, both Radio Mirchi and Red FM received 12.4 per cent station share whereas Radio City received a station share of 11.1 per cent. The other FM stations in the Delhi market include Big FM, Radio One, Oye!FM, Hit FM, AIR FM1 Rainbow, Vividh Bharati and Akashavani Delhi.
    

    

     
    

    Bengaluru:
    

    Radio Mirchi is the number one FM station in Bengaluru followed by Radio City, Big FM, Red FM and Radio One. Between Wk 40- 43, 2011 to Wk 52, 2011-Wk 3, 2012 the radio channel share for Radio Mirchi was at its peak in Wk 40 -43, 2011 with a share of 23.1 per cent.

    Kolkata:
    

    Kolkata has a clear number one and number two FM stations in Friends FM and Radio Mirchi. Ranked third is Red FM. The gap between the top three FM stations is significant. While Friends FM received a market share of 23.4 per cent in Wk 52, 2011 – Wk 3, 2012, the same week saw Radio Mirchi receive just 18.3 per cent market share and Red FM receive 12.4 per cent share.

    Is FM radio losing out? Media agencies have their say.
    
			
    RAMcheck: Media agencies on new FM listenership numbers
    
			
    By Robin Thomas
    

     
    

    The latest RAM data on radio listenership for the month of September to mid-October has thrown up a few surprises in radio listenership. New leaders have emerged in cities that were once strongholds of their rivals. Barring Kolkata where Radio Mirchi continues its leadership position, the remaining three markets – Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru have new No. 1s.
    

     
    

    Take Mumbai for instance, once a Radio Mirchi bastion, the latest RAM figures (category: all people 12+, all places of listening, shares) show Radio City as the number one private FM station in the city, slightly ahead of Radio Mirchi. However this time (i.e. week 38-42, 2011) Radio City had to share the No. 1 slot with the government owned FM radio – AIR FM2-Gold. Bengaluru where Big FM held its number one status for a very long time is now overthrown by Radio City. In Delhi Fever FM has become number one taking over from AIR FM2- Gold, Radio Mirchi which was number one in the city for very long time has slipped to number three position. These figures are according to RAM, All People 12+, all places of listening and all daypart (i.e. Sunday to Saturday 12 am to 12 am).
    

     
    

    In addition to these developments we find that when we compare week 35- week 38, 2011 (last week of August to 1st three weeks of September, 2011) and week 39- week 42, 2011 (Last 2 weeks of September and 1st two weeks of October, 2011) not all FM stations have witnessed growth in their listenership. When asked whether FM stations have reached a stagnation point in listenership, Mr Janardhan Pandey, Associate VP, Mudra Max explained, “It has not reached a stagnation point, but a period of stabilization. To further increase listenership, FM stations will have to take the quality of content and programming to the next level along with higher-level product promotions.”
    

     
    

    Mr Ajay Rao, Vice President, Dentsu observed, “FM stations do not have novelty working for them any more. It is today a force of habit for people who find themselves without a smartphone to keep them going. For the young people FM is losing out to other more engaging past times. Can one differentiate basis the content? Listeners tune in for music and switch channels during breaks.”
    

     
    

    AIR FM2- Gold which has been growing strong in listenership particularly in Mumbai and Delhi where it has emerged as a strong number two contender. What remains to be seen is whether this trend continues or will it see a decline or stagnation in listenership. Media planners are however of the view that since AIR FM2- Gold offer only specific contents it is not considered as often as the private stations. Mr Narendra Kumar Alambara, Vice President, Starcom Chennai was of the view that, “Since the entertainment content is limited in AIR, the advertisers do not consider AIR as often as compared to the private stations.”
    

     
    

    “AIR FM- Gold has been consistently delivering impressive numbers, this suggest that the music is most important content of a radio station and RJ/ innovations and promotions alone cannot keep you on top,” said Mr Janardhan Pandey.

    If we compare growth of FM listenership in terms of shares from Week 35 to week 38, 2011 and Week 39 to Week 42, 2011 we find that Radio City, AIR FM2- Gold, Big FM, Fever FM, Radio One and Vividh Bharati are the only FM stations to have witnessed growth.

    The RAM figures for Delhi too have thrown some interesting figures. Fever FM emerged as the number one FM station from week 39 to week 42 (i.e. Last 2 week of September and 1st two week of October, 2011). Fever FM took the leadership position from AIR FM2- Gold which was number one in Delhi from week 35 to week 38, 2011 (i.e. (last 1 week of August to 1st three week of September, 2011).
    

     
    

    Ranked one is Fever FM with a share of 20.7 per cent as on week 39 to week 42, 2011. Fever FM is closely followed by AIR FM2- Gold with a share of 20 per cent. Ranked three is Radio Mirchi with a share of 16.7 per cent and Red FM with a share of 11 per cent as on week 39 to week 42, 2011.
