Triton Digital has added New Zealand to its region-specific portfolio of measurement trackers for podcasting. Along with The Netherlands, which was also introduced this month, Triton measures the U.S., Latin America, and Australia.
The New Zealand ranker is a portrait of a young and smallish podcast market, dominated by New Zealand Media & Entertainment, a media conglomerate of 50 brands across radio, digital, and print. The company reaches 3.4-million Kiwis per month. Pertinent, to this report, NZME also owns the iHeartRadio franchise in New Zealand, and is represented in Triton’s report as NZME/iHeartRadio.
About 700,000 of them listened to podcasts in September, according to Triton’s report. Only eight networks are represented in the Top Networks portion, and the other seven are non-native to NZ: Audioboom, Stitcher Media, MediaWorks Radio Unlimited, Kast Media, LiSTNR (SCA), Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), and Headgum.
The #2 network is Audioboom, with 251,ooo monthly listeners.
On the downloads side, NZME/iHeartRadio served 3.2-million of them, while #2 Audioboom served 820,000.
The top 100 podcasts are contained in Triton’s list. Six of the top 10 belong to NZME, with Audioboom, LiSTNR, and Stitcher also placing shows.
