Together we listen to over a million hours of radio, with a quarter of that taking place via a digital receiver such as DAB, Freeview and Freesat.

Almost 20 million adults now have access to a DAB receiver, and mobile listening is up by 10.2 per cent year on year with 13.8 per cent of adults aged 15+ in Q1, 2011 saying they have listened in this way.

Changes in reporting this quarter sees the re-branding of Galaxy and other Global stations to create the Capital FM network, Heart 106 became Gem 106, Kiss FM went quasi-national and Bauer introduced two new product portfolios.

Stations leaving the RAJAR reports include Imagine FM and Connect FM.
