Radio begins OTT

11 April 2025

In the fourth quarter of 2023, according to RAJAR data, there was a significant shift in how the British audience consumes radio content. While only 28% still prefer traditional AM/FM listening, 43% turn to DAB and 26% to IP, with 11% using apps and websites, and a remarkable 15% through smart speakers.This last figure highlights a considerable increase in BBC listening via IP, following the BBC’s strategy of focusing access to its content on OTT platforms. But the numbers reveal more: on-demand listening through BBC Sounds, the BBC’s proprietary OTT audio platform, has grown by 55% over two years, reaching an impressive 231 million listens in Q4 2023.These figures confirm the effectiveness of the BBC’s decision to concentrate its content on its primary disintermediated platform. However, the data also suggest a potentially unexpected outcome.The BBC Sounds app recorded 149 million listens.Cridland explains that in the first quarter of 2021, the BBC Sounds app recorded 149 million radio and on-demand podcast listens, while BBC podcasts were downloaded 265 million times worldwide.In the recently published data for Q4 2023, the BBC Sounds app reported 231 million radio and on-demand podcast listens, while global BBC podcast downloads dropped to 222 million.The decline in third-party podcast listening, although considered a success by some BBC executives, is a phenomenon that requires deeper analysis as it could have significant and not necessarily positive consequences. However, it remains clear that the BBC’s decision to focus access to its content on disintermediated platforms is proving increasingly wise.The transformation toward OTT represents the new frontier for broadcasters, who must quickly adapt to become content providers without relying on traditional distribution networks such as DTT, satellite, DAB, or FM. This transformation involves not only technology but also the broadcasters’ business model.It is a change similar to that faced by record labels at the end of the last century, when sales of physical media such as records, CDs, and cassettes suffered a steady decline, leading some to predict their complete demise. However, despite the death of physical media, record labels began a slow but steady reconstruction process. This rebuilding path has led to their current extremely positive condition.
