Joe Concha continues to be one of Red Apple Audio Networks’ fastest-growing success stories, and the latest Nielsen data makes that momentum unmistakably clear. According to Nielsen Audio Trend results from Spring 2024 to Spring 2025 among Adults 25–54, The Joe Concha Tunnel to Towers Foundation Show delivered substantial audience gains that signal both rising awareness and deepening listener loyalty. Average Quarter-Hour listening climbed by an impressive 29.4 percent, growing from 3,400 listeners in Spring 2024 to 4,400 in Spring 2025. That increase reflects not only more people tuning in, but more listeners staying engaged throughout the program.

Even more striking is the show’s growth in weekly reach. Over the same period, Cume surged by a remarkable 105.5 percent, jumping from 5,500 listeners to 11,300. Doubling a show’s weekly audience in a single year is a rare achievement in any format, and it speaks volumes about the strength of Concha’s content and the word-of-mouth traction it is generating. New listeners are clearly discovering the show, sampling it, and coming back for more.

For affiliates, this kind of growth carries real significance. A rising AQH means stronger audience density and greater consistency at any given moment, while a dramatic Cume increase signals expanding reach and fresh ears entering the funnel every week. Together, these metrics point to a program that is not only growing, but doing so in a way that supports long-term stability, advertiser confidence, and premium placement within the schedule. In a competitive landscape where attention is hard-won, Joe Concha is proving he can attract, retain, and grow a valuable audience.
