New Data On Podcasting Growth In Canada

By FYI Staff

Gone are the days when radio, television and one’s collection of music more or less accounted for all of one’s leisure time with media.


Audience’s attention is increasingly fragmented, and it is biting into the mainstream media of old. One of the fastest growing sectors in today's cluttered media landscape is podcasting.

Following up on last year's in-depth study on podcasting in Canada, with The Canadian Podcast Listener 2018, Audience Insights’ Jeff Vidler provides us with a taste of what’s in store with the release of the latest findings that are to be published later this year.

 “We're just out of the field, and we wanted to share some fresh top-line results from an initial survey of 3,118 Canadian adults. It confirms that podcast listening is indeed growing in Canada.

"Most important, while we see modest growth on awareness and sampling, we see even greater growth among Canadians who are digging into podcasting and making it a regular weekly habit."

SOCAN Teams With Musical AI to Offer 'Consent Management and Attribution' Tools For Generative AI Music

The Canadian rights company will use the technology to provide tools for its members to control how their works are used and compensated in the world of AI.

SOCAN is teaming with Musical AI, a Canadian rights management technology company to provide tools for attribution, compensation and consent for generative AI outputs.

“As AI reshapes the music industry, music creators must have transparency, credit and fair compensation,” says Jennifer Brown, CEO of SOCAN. “SOCAN’s role is to protect the rights and livelihoods of songwriters, composers and music publishers. This collaboration with Musical AI establishes a foundation for attribution and compensation, to ensure that music creators are paid when their music is used by AI.”
