Our flagship station Clyde 1 has increased listening hours by a fantastic 15.5% and has added 41,000 weekly listeners since this time last year. Sister station Forth 1 has clocked up an additional 45,000 listeners since this time last year. This means Radio Clyde & Radio Forth together reach well over 1million people each week, and their combined audiences spend over 11.1 million hours each week tuned in.”
Hallam FM’s reach is up 4.3% and hours up 31.6% year on year, and 97.4 Cool FM’s reach is up 15.7% and hours up 26.1% since Q3 2010 – its best results ever.
