The Belgian Radio Rankings in 2025

Every quarter, the CIM publishes the audience figures for each radio station available in Belgium. These figures are important because they reveal which stations are the most listened to and popular, allowing advertisers to adjust their strategies accordingly.

Moreover, tracking the evolution of these figures from quarter to quarter helps identify potential shifts in the ranking of Belgian radio stations, showing which ones are gaining popularity and increasing their market shares. Here are the figures for the latest quarter (September–December 2024), published at the beginning of 2025 :
