Expert Statements

Joe D’Angelo, Senior vice president of commercial strategy and partnerships, Xperi

“Until now, reliable radio data has mostly been a ‘big-market’ advantage. The AutoStage Broadcaster Portal changes that by bringing actionable listening insights to broadcasters who have never had them”

Joe D’Angelo, Senior vice president of commercial strategy and partnerships, Xperi

“For example, a station in a smaller town of 20,000 people can now see its audience data with the same clarity as a station in New York or Los Angeles.”

“We now publish radio data in more than double the number of markets of any other audience measurement service”

Steve Hunter, President of Zoellner Media Group

“We’re excited to be working with AutoStage and to see the expansion to 550 measured markets”

Steve Hunter, President of Zoellner Media Group

“As more listening happens through connected cars and connected dashboards, having greater insight into audience behavior helps position our industry for the future.”

“By combining aggregated in-car listening from millions of connected vehicles with our streaming data, and valuable tools like geographic listening heat maps, our sellers can show clients how a station actually performs neighborhood by neighborhood — coverage, commuter-corridor reach, and listening density across the market”

Kristin Cantrell, Owner of Seven Mountains Media

“The AutoStage Broadcaster portal has transformed our pitches from traditional radio conversations into compelling, data-backed regional marketing discussions that prove true engagement and deliver tangible ROI.”
