If a business is already advertising on Augusta radio stations, then by default, they are already reaching almost all of Pandora's and Spotify's audiences.

Nielsen reveals that 87% of the combined, local audience for Pandora and Spotify also listens to Augusta radio stations during the course of the week.

That number is slightly higher among millennial consumers. Almost 89% of 18-34 year-old Pandora and Spotify listeners tune-in to Augusta radio stations, as well, during the course of the week.
