Xperi Launches DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal Premium Tier

Xperi today launched DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal Premium, a new tier that upgrades its broadcaster portal to deliver the most comprehensive, timely radio listening analytics available. The premium features go live April 16 and will be showcased at Xperi’s NAB Show Las Vegas booth (#C2259), April 18–22.

Built on the DTS AutoStage platform — now integrated into more than 16 million vehicles worldwide and producing over 34 million hours of U.S. radio listening data per month — the new Premium tier gives stations near real-time competitive station rankings by daypart and expanded, exportable music charts.

“We knew the Broadcaster Portal was capturing unique audience insights,” said Joe D’Angelo, senior vice president of commercial strategy and partnerships at Xperi. “The Premium tier advances that visibility, giving broadcasters of every size the granular, actionable intelligence they need to see where they rank in their markets and neighboring markets at any hour.”

Since its 2023 launch, the Broadcaster Portal has analyzed more than 12 billion data points monthly and is used by thousands of U.S. stations. Vehicle coverage samples span major and small markets — for example: New York City 247,000; Cleveland 46,312; Birmingham, AL 19,211; Jackson, MS 7,117; Kokomo, IN 1,464 (early April).

D’Angelo added: “Sixty-six percent of U.S. adults listen to AM/FM radio daily, mostly in cars — yet traditional analytics capture only a sliver of that audience. Premium opens a far wider window into where, when and how audiences listen, enabling smarter programming, stronger audience connections and new monetization opportunities.”

Key Premium features Daypart station rankings: 

• Market and adjacent-market rankings broken down by overnight, morning drive, midday, afternoon drive and evening.
• Near real-time trends: View and trend data by day, week, month or quarter to react quickly to seasonal spikes, live events or schedule changes.
• Expanded music charts: Weekly top 100 song rankings by total listening sessions, with spins, average sessions per spin and week-over-week movement.
• Full data export: Exportable reports for market share, daypart activity, music charts and ranking position for use in sales and advertiser materials.
• Combined listening heatmaps: Unified listening heatmaps that combine FM, HD and translator frequencies, with weekly and monthly views across expanded markets.

The existing portal continues to provide quarterly station-level listening data by time of day, market and geography, including hourly flow, geographic heatmaps and daily-updated market sample sizes.

DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal Premium is available to all radio stations broadcasting in analog and digital.
