Radio Reaches African-Americans

While Radio as a medium reaches just about everyone in the American population, specific
Radio stations are also highly specialized niche vehicles. If your target is the African-American
market, you'll find that 94 percent of your consumer base spends an average of 21 hours,
30 minutes per person with Radio each week.
