Three out of every four adult Hungarians listen to radio on a regular basis, while every eighth has the radio turned on for 4 to 6 hours daily, but few listen to the news, according to an Ipsos survey published on Friday.
Twenty percent of the respondents said they had their sets on for an average 2 to 3 hours per day, while 43 percent said they were tuned in for a shorter period, the survey found.
Regarding news programmes, 11 percent of the respondents said they listen to news broadcasts daily on commercial (now defunct) Slager Radio and only 9 percent said the same about public radio Kossuth.
Radio was mentioned as a primary source of news by only 7 percent, the survey said.
