AudienScope

AudienScope is a national online survey of behaviour,

providing context and additional perspective to the

Australian radio ratings. While the radio ratings provide

data on “who” is listening to “what”, AudienScope looks

at the reasons “why” by delving deeper into listening

behaviour. AudienScope reports are released quarterly

and involves 5,000 respondents per year.

View previous AudienScope reports at

radioitsalovething.com.au.

Commercial Advice ServiceCommercial Radio Australia offers many services to members including the Commercial Advice Service (CAS). The CAS is available to all members and their advertising agencies.

If you have any questions regarding an advertisement that you are making, you can contact us to find out whether there are any legal or regulatory issues that you need to consider. You might want to find out about the rules that apply to the advertising of sensitive products, such as alcohol and gambling services, or, you might want to check the wording of a disclaimer in an advertisement for investment products.

Log onto the Commercial Radio Australia and you can also access detailed information regarding advertising regulations, exclusive to CRA members.

Members should note that this service is advisory in nature only and should not be relied on in substitution for independent legal advice.

Contact: Eve McGregor (Head of Legal & Regulatory) at [email protected] or 02 9281 6577.
