When asked why they listen to local radio, 40% of those aged 18-34 said that local content is the key reason. That's higher than the overall level (30%) and the 55+ crowd (20%).

"For a sport built on daily dialogue and generational fandom, leaving AM/FM sports radio on the sidelines turns what should be a grand slam opportunity into yet another swing and a miss."
"There is so much new breaking news every day in the world of sports. It’s not playing ‘Stairway to Heaven’ again. Literally, every time you tune in there is something new going on."
