News podcast penetration rate in Belgium and the Netherlands 2019
This statistic shows the answers to a survey question regarding the penetration rate of news-related podcasts in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2019. ** percent of the respondents from Belgium indicated they listened to one of these episodic digital audio files. This number was higher in the Netherlands.
The source mentions two potential reasons for this. They state that a "popular public broadcaster *** have little incentive to undermine their linear radio listening by producing or promoting podcast." Additionally, the source mentions that a podcast is difficult to define as it excludes on-demand streams and downloads accessed through, for example, a radio app.
