New York - Apr 19, 2010 - According to the latest report from Barclays Capital, radio is leading the way for positive advertising forecasts. Barclays analysts anticipate significant ad growth for radio through 2010 -- more than three times what the company originally predicted.

Overall, the firm sees 5.5 percent year-over-year growth in the 2010 U.S. advertising market in 2010 -- mainly due to growing optimism in auto advertising.
