No, there’s no return signal.

Gathering engagement data is therefore pretty tricky, and there are companies like Nielsen Media Research dedicated specifically to gathering that data using surveys and monitoring equipment.

The radio companies themselves also track internet traffic and phone call-ins to try and estimate engagement.
