  • New Year’s Day 2023 – Radio Times

    New Year’s Day 2023 – Radio Times

    A final TV selection for this year’s Festive season – mostly because there’s some pretty decent TV for New Year’s Day when the schedulers reckon that the nation’s collective hangovers mean that most of us aren’t going anyway too far from the sofa, even if the intentions to be better in 2023 are there. And…

  • Boxing Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Boxing Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Ideally you want to at least think about spending some time outside today. But you’re probably not going anywhere by train, which might make some of the Premier League games a particular challenge for away fans today. So good luck with those doing family trips across the town or across the country. But for those…

    Christmas Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Congratulations on making it through to Christmas Day! While the family arguments begin early, I’m here to hold your hand through your TV and radio entertainment options, to make sure that you’re not stuck watching a celebrity special gameshow when you could be watching something much better (i.e. anything). Certainly, my tastes may not be…

    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. Edison Research, the company that has probably lead the field in US audio and podcast research in recent years, has published its first…

  • RAJAR During COVID-19

    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. In essence, because their research partners have been unable to conduct face-to-face interviews due to lockdown and social distancing measures, published RAJAR numbers will be based on…
