SCA’s total digital audio network reach includes audiences across Hit, Triple M and SoundCloud Radio. When combined with SoundCloud’s music streaming platform and Sonos Radio, SCA has a market leading addressable audio offering covering the widest audience from Gen Z to Baby Boomers.

 
Live streaming on Hit and Triple M remains popular with audiences post-COVID, with a 25%* year on year lift in active live radio streams to reach 8.8 million.
 
SCA’s total listening hours remained over 10.3 million in November, as more users login and listen for longer, creating more addressable ad opportunities than ever before.
 
Smart speakers once again achieved the highest year on year growth of all devices, up 61%* to a new high of 2.4 million listening hours. Smart speaker listening accounts for almost a quarter of all listening.
 

SCA Head of Streaming Sales and Operations, Jonathan Mandel, said “Live radio streaming continues to grow and create scale for a premium addressable advertiser environment. Our advertisers are leveraging data to plan and execute their digital audio campaigns with ease and success, driven significantly through programmatic audio and culminating in a record-breaking Black Friday weekend. Savvy clients are now completing the loop with our new attribution tools, we’ve seen significant uptake with SCA Footsteps measuring footfall, and SCA Soundcheck providing brand-lift studies.”
