Key sessions from CRS 2025, including the annual CRS Research Presentation by NuVoodoo, are now available for free streaming. NuVoodoo’s study of 1,500 country music fans revealed that while AM/FM remains dominant for in-car listening (61%), at-home and workplace habits favor streaming. Nearly half of country radio listeners appreciate on-air personalities for their authenticity and humor, yet 36% have noticed job cuts among their favorites. Commercial loads, signal issues, and repetitive playlists remain top frustrations, strengthening digital competition. Other available sessions cover industry trends, AI in radio, and content creation strategies. Notable panels include “Honky Tonk to TikTok,” “Are You AI Curious?” and “Mental Health Matters: CMA’s Commitment to Well-Being.” CRS 2026 is scheduled for March 18-20, with registration opening later this year. Sessions can be accessed under the Media tab on the CRS website.
