Podcast: Monetization, Native vs Replay, and the Video Shift

Podcast confirms its vitality, but its center of gravity is shifting: YouTube has become the world's 2nd podcast platform, and video podcast is taking hold. Good news for reaching younger audiences; bad news for measurement and advertising, as video converts less effectively than pure audio. Among hosts, ad networks and producers, how can a sustainable model be built?

Key figures
  • Over 1 billion people watch podcasts on YouTube each month
  • US podcast ad spend > 3 Bn$; dynamic insertion = > 90% of revenue
  • Ads in video podcasts (YouTube) are 18 to 25% less effective than audio for purchase intent

AI in radio: produce, dress, monetize — without losing its soul

Artificial intelligence is THE topic of 2026 — it's even the official theme of World Radio Day. It writes, translates, produces audio packaging, generates voiceovers, tags content and optimizes schedules. Yet 47% of listeners say they would listen less to a podcast using synthetic voices. The key question is: how do we make AI a production copilot without breaking the human connection that makes radio powerful?

Key figures
  • Official theme of UNESCO World Radio Day 2026: 'Radio and Artificial Intelligence'
  • 50% of adults already use AI every week (Radiodays Europe 2026)
  • 47% of listeners less inclined to follow a podcast with synthetic voices (including 28% 'much less')

From FM Spot to Programmatic Audio

This is the silent revolution in audio advertising: since end of 2025, terrestrial radio has become buyable programmatically via DSPs.

How are radio sales houses embracing this automation without cannibalizing direct deals? A 100% international roundtable (English-language). It opens with five minutes of key definitions in French so everyone is on board.

Key figures
  • Terrestrial radio available via DSPs since December 2025 (Triton Digital / Jelli)
  • US podcast advertising > 3 Bn$ (> 5 Bn$ worldwide); dynamic insertion = > 90% of revenues

Masterclass - To Be Heard, You Must First Be Seen – The Missed Opportunity of Radio Apps

Introduction ahead of the "Radio sales houses & data: towards targeted, addressable audio advertising" conference. In the digital age, people don’t just listen to the radio anymore - they first have to find it, then choose it. In this masterclass, Alexis Hue, founder of Audiotiq and author of *Radio’s Digital Transformation Playbook*, breaks down the app store presence of real radio stations live to reveal the missed opportunities that are costing them listeners every day. Topics covered: why your app is the cornerstone of your digital presence, how app store algorithms work, and the complete funnel - from the first click to listener retention - to turn a download into a listening habit.

Radio ad networks & data: towards targeted and addressable audio advertising

Radio advertising is 'going digital': first-party data, targeting, addressable audio and auditability proof. NRJ Global worked with IAS on a dedicated SDK — a first in France.

How are radio ad networks transforming their inventory into data-driven offerings without losing the power of mass media?

Key figures
  • Digital audio France: 125 M€ in investments (+26% year-on-year)
  • Digital listening = 59% of audio time (+11 pts in 2 years)

Measuring audio in the cross-platform era: FM, DAB+, IP and podcast

Audience measurement is undergoing a major overhaul on both sides of the Atlantic. Médiamétrie is driving a 'total audio' vision where FM, DAB+, IP listening and podcast coexist within the same framework. Nielsen has revolutionized its PPM (3-minute qualification). And the new frontier is auditability: proving that a spot was actually heard. How are ad networks and publishers adapting to this common grammar?

Key figures
  • Radio still represents 53% of daily audio listening volume in France (FM + DAB+ + IP)
  • Podcast (radio + native): 10% of daily audio listening (+2 pts year-on-year)
  • 43 million monthly audio listeners in France
