If you follow this blog on a regular basis, you’ll know that my publishing can be a bit hit and miss. Certainly there’ll be something about UK radio ratings at least four times a year (RAJAR), and there’ll be some annotated Radio Times – especially at Christmas. But otherwise, it’s as and when I feel like it.

What you may not know is that sometimes I draft articles and then either don’t quite get around to completing them, or forget to hit publish all together. At time of writing, I have 85 pieces in my draft folder. The majority won’t see the light of day, but some probably should. So during the gap between Christmas and New Year, I’m going to publish a few that I’ve been meaning to post, even if they’re not always as timely as they might have been.
