Friday figures - 19 Jan

ICYMI the Why Not Her? Collective are back with the latest analysis of Irish radio. Support for national talent is a crucial step in identifying and developing artists, with radio providing that all-important access to a wider audience. The continued work of the collective rounds up the annual figures of Irish radio, not just to highlight the gender disparity on the airwaves, but also the lack of support for local and national artists. And it makes us wonder what the gender, local and intersectional breakdown of radio across the world looks like, a medium which has the widest, most expansive reach, far outstripping streaming services. Do you have similar reports or analyses in your country? Let us know, we would love to take a look!

In the meantime, read some of the jaw-dropping statistics here.
