Radio has many meanings in 2016 -- broadcast, streaming, on-demand.
Podcasts and playlists are sometimes touted as the new radio. Is radio
being transformed, or expanded? According to RAJAR, U.K. listeners spend 26
hours each week with audio. Broadcasting owns the most reach, and time
spent listening, but on-demand audio is gaining share. This expert panel
discusses the present and future of radio.

*10:40 - 11:05 RESEARCH: Share the Road: The Changing In-Car Audio Space*

*Megan Lazovick*, Director of Research at Edison Research, brings new
research that has never been seen publicly about how consumers manage
