Looking at these ratings again, and also the recent media attention around falling ratings for the ABC…how much would the ABC like to be doing as well as BBC radio!

You’ve effectively got their RN equivalent R4 at numbet one. R2 at number 2 - ABC has no equivalent. Classic FM at No. 5 although this is a commercial station - but it’s still classical music. R1 is No. 7 but there is a huge amount of competition for the youth audience, like Capital, KISS etc. And DAB uptake is much higher…

Yes they’re all on FM but then we get back to the fact that London seems to cope with 0.4 spacing.
