When The Anthony Cumia Show hit the airwaves in April 2025, it didn’t just launch, it took off. Affiliates witnessed an immediate and measurable audience response following the show’s introduction into the lineup, and the Nielsen data reflects that momentum.

According to Nielsen Audio Trend data Adults 25+ (Fall 2024 – before the Anthony Cumia Show → Spring 2025 – after adding the Anthony Cumia Show), the show posted a +38.0% increase in AQH (Average Quarter-Hour), climbing from 14,200 in Fall 2024 to 19,600 in Spring 2025. That’s a remarkable gain for a program that began syndication in April and has been building traction ever since. What’s more, the show’s weekly reach (Cume) jumped +39.5%, rising from 30,900 to 43,100 over the same period.*

These gains are even more impressive considering the short timeframe between launch and the Spring survey. In just one cycle, The Anthony Cumia Show has transformed from a promising debut into a genuine growth driver on affiliate stations. AQH growth of nearly 40 percent indicates not only increased tune-in but listeners staying connected to the show for longer blocks, a sign of real engagement. The concurrent Cume growth shows the show is reaching more listeners overall, expanding beyond its core base to new ears in key markets.

For affiliates seeking content that can build appointment listening and move the demo needle, this strong upward trend proves the show deserves serious attention, both now and as part of long-term programming strategy.
