    Christmas Eve 2022 – Radio Times

    If it’s Christmas then that means I get out my Post-it notes and marker pen to run through the double issue of the Radio Times to see what TV and radio I personally think are worthwhile. I’m not kidding myself that we’re all limited to what the major linear channels are showing. Maybe you’re binging…

  • RAJAR Q2 2022

    A quick note to anyone looking to say that because of poor planning on my part, I’m currently hiking in the mountains and therefore not able to write about the latest RAJAR figures. Yes – I’ve missed one… I’ll publish something on Sunday or Monday. In the meantime, Matt will have something to read!

    The Infinite Dial 2021 UK

    41% of the UK population listens to podcasts each month. That’s probably the headline finding from some new research that will be of interest to everyone interested in the UK audio space.

    RAJAR During COVID-19

    This afternoon RAJAR, the UK’s radio research body, published a press release explaining changes they were making to the survey during the pandemic. It’s worth reading in full.

    Les Evenson – Virgin Radio

I’m publishing this just before 11am on April 3rd, when Pete’s funeral will be taking place. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances only…
