The idiots sack me and the place falls apart. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Seriously though, that’s a more likely result for all three FM stations.

2HD & NEW FM particularly, need to start streaming, figures wouldn’t be huge for any Newcastle station despite what some in here would think, but still the overall figures in the ratings are including streaming for everyone bar the Sandgate stations, so results will be slightly skewed, you’re not comparing apples with apples, the results should separate the on air & the streaming & obviously the BOG stations would get a * in the streaming share.

New FM’s overall share of 11.4 is its best since S3/2002, when it scored an 11.8, back when it was a rock station. That’s quite impressive when you think about it. :slight_smile:

At the same time though, 2HD’s overall share of 5.3 is its lowest ever.
