Next Radio 2017

Regular readers will know I'm a big fan of Next Radio - which returns to the Royal Institution in London on Monday 18th September. This is an annual conference which is all about finding great, creative ideas for radio. It was created in 2011 by James Cridland and Matt Deegan. Next Radio is different to other events. It’s not created by a committee, it’s not trying to balance commercial radio and the BBC, or guaranteeing sponsors speaking privileges. Instead it’s curated by James ...

London Rajar – Q1/2017

Here's how things are looking for the first quarter of 2017. Capital now has the highest commercial reach - and with more listeners than BBC Radio 2.

London Rajar – Q1/2016

Once again it's time to look behind the spin. These figures cover the period 28th December 2015 - 3rd April 2016 and, to save you asking, the new Virgin Radio talkRADIO and talkSPORT2 launched too late to be included this time. Overall I'm not really sure what to make of this quarter's figures. There seems to have been a national drop across most stations. It could well be seasonal and, no doubt, many of those stations will bounce back next time; we'll have ...
