2025: The Year of Opportunities for Radio In Uganda

Happy New Year!

I hope 2025 has begun with great momentum for you and your team. It’s an honor to bring you the first edition of our EARS newsletter for the year.

2024 was a remarkable year for EARS as we continued to amplify the voices of our clients and deliver impactful results. By supporting campaigns that reached millions through harnessing the power of data, we worked tirelessly to connect brands with the right audiences through Uganda’s vibrant radio landscape.

As we welcome a brand-new year, the Ugandan media industry gears up for a dynamic period filled with immense possibilities and growth. Several events and trends in 2025 are set to drive a significant surge in radio listenership across the nation.

One of the major highlights this year is the upcoming election season. Political campaigns, updates and political discourse will dominate the airwaves, drawing in listeners eager to stay informed. Additionally, the national ID registration initiative promises to further boost media consumption, as citizens tune in to radio stations for timely updates and announcements.

With the rise in the health sector initiatives listeners will increasingly rely on radio for critical public health messages.

In an age of rampant misinformation on social and digital platforms, the need for authentic news and reliable reporting is more critical than ever. Radio remains a trusted source for credible information, making it an essential medium for fostering informed communities.

The latest National Audience Measurement (NAMS) survey data will play a pivotal role in shaping advertising strategies, ensuring that investments yield measurable results. The availability of robust media planning tools and data will empower both advertisers and radio stations to optimize their campaigns for maximum reach and engagement.

Compliance still takes center stage, as broadcasters adhere to stricter standards to ensure transparency and accountability.

As we embark on 2025, advertisers have a real opportunity for a transformative year one where data-driven strategies, authentic content, and impactful communication will define success.
