The questions sought genuine listener advice and listeners helped their favourite RJs in making real life product / brand choices. Extensive responses have been tabulated in the report to provide valuable insights for future content creation & improving brand conversation impact for advertisers, exclusively within this upscale audience of 94.3 Radio One.  The complimentary Annual International Indian monitor report can be accessed from here.
