We Make you Happy!
A new survey out of the UK found that radio makes people happier than TV or the web. In the study, called 'Media and the Mood of the Nation,' respondents said they experienced a 100 percent lift in happiness and 300 percent boost to their energy levels when listening to a radio show versus not consuming any type of media at all. Watching TV and surfing the internet also significantly boosts people's happiness and energy levels — but the positive effects of radio listening was greater. Researcher Mark Barber explained, "People are the happiest and most energetic when listening to radio. It plays an important emotional role in people's lives. People use radio as a lifestyle support system and to make themselves feel better about their lives. Our latest research highlights the immense potential of radio to influence emotions."
