There are 38 million people in Canada and nearly three-quarters (28 million) of all of them ages 18 and up are streaming music, radio, and podcasts every single month. Only four years ago that figure stood at 57%; while just last year, Digital Audio took the crown from AM/FM radio as the country's #1 listening format for the very first time.
All told, there's a new King in the North right now. And as Digital Audio continues to grow its hold of the consumer market, it gives us great excitement to announce today that AudioGO will be available in Canada for any advertiser looking to take advantage!
What's more is that we're partnering with some of the biggest and best brands in the Canadian audio industry to help run your ad campaigns on: TuneIn, Audiomack, Corus, Stingray Music, and idobi.
