Media Monitoring 360°: The Power of TV & Radio in Communication Strategy

A barrage of developments in all sectors, from technology and economy to marketing and consumer behavior, constantly affect the business environment. New trends, unpredictable crises and innovative strategies daily shape the landscape in which brands develop and exist.
In such a constantly changing environment, the need for timely information is now more urgent than ever. Internet and social media may be dominant, but TV & Radio remain the cornerstones of information and influence. Images on our screens and radio advertising spots continue to shape opinions, affect decisions and determine brand perception.  

 

Radio-TV & Public Opinion

Numbers never lie: in Greece, more than 65% of the citizens daily use their TV for their information (Eurobarometer). Meanwhile, the radio has a loyal audience that spends at least two hours daily listening to their favorite shows (Statista). The power of live transmission gives such media a decisive role in public discussions. For Communication and PR professionals, ignoring what is being said about their brand or their business sector in Radio and TV is like flying blind.  

 

Why Media Monitoring is Necessary

Radio & TV Monitoring is not just a technical procedure, it is a strategic tool. Constant monitoring can offer valuable information for:

  • Reputation & publicity crisis management: A comment on a TV show can shape trends, positive or negative, for a company or a business sector. Direct information allows businesses to react immediately and control the narrative.
  • Competition analysis: Radio and TV do not only promote our brand; they also promote the brands of our competitors. With Radio & TV Monitoring, businesses understand the promotion strategies of competition, evaluate the impact of their campaigns and locate differentiation opportunities.
  • Brand awareness enhancement: Publicity monitoring contributes to the measurement of the public presence and recognizability of a brand, whereas data analysis helps plan more targeted communication actions.

 

The Combination with Internet & Social Media Monitoring

Traditional media do not operate independently of digital media. A statement on a radio or TV show may go viral on social media in only a couple of minutes. Likewise, a prime-time zone advertisement may cause a flood of negative discussions on social media. The combination of Radio & TV Monitoring with Internet & Social Media Monitoring present an overview of your publicity. The combined analysis of all sources allows brands to make more targeted decisions, predict trends and timely adjust their strategies, making sure that no crucial insight goes unnoticed.  

 

From Information to Action

Information is power for businesses and allows them to use every opportunity in a strategic manner.   The article was published on Daily Fax on February 12, 2025.
