Title: "National" Local Radio
Post by Administrator on Aug 9^th, 2014, 3:05pm

According to "Radio Today"........

"The networked Mark Forrest show has shed nearly half a million listeners since it went on air on the BBC’s English local radio stations in January last year, an analysis of the latest RAJAR figures by RadioToday has found."

"Several BBC local radio stations reported significant overall falls in their audience in the latest RAJAR data release. BBC Radios Bristol, Merseyside, Somerset and Three Counties Radio each lost more than 30% of their total hours listened year-on-year."

Not at all surprised to hear this it was a backward step for Local Radio at that time of day!
