The same three months in 2020 was dragged down by the economic fallout from the pandemic.
Total advertising revenue is growing for the first time in many years as brands return to the market post the 2020 pandemic year.
First quarter radio revenue 2021 was down by 36% on the same three months last year. Mix FM‘s share was more than 23% which grew up by 8% compared to the first quarter of 2020.
We anticipate that the second quarter market revenue to grow up by 170% compared with second quarter of 2020.
In Spite that radio market was down by 14%, Mix FM’s share was up by 12% for the period Jan to Apr 2021. I extrapolate that Mix FM’s second quarter growth to surpass 280%.
