Streaming music is down, but listening to the radio is on the rise

The BBC has seen listening figures for its stations rise by 18 per cent during the lockdown, NME’s radio services have experienced their best month ever with a 12% month-on-month increase, while Global and Bauer have both witnessed surges of 15 per cent. Capital UK's Roman Kemp thinks that people search for consolation through something familiar - “As our world seemingly gets smaller, people want that communal experience”, NME reports.
