BBC Radio Scotland has seen its latest listening figures rise by 2.3 per cent on the corresponding period 12 months previously.
Says the radio listening auditing body, RAJAR, the station’s ‘reach’ between the fourth quarter (October-December) of 2013 and the same period last year rose from an average 868,000 listeners to 888,000.
‘Reach’ is defined as an adult, aged at least 15, having tuned into a station for at least five minutes during an average week.
The reach figures in full are as follows, for Q4 2013-Q4 2014 (in brackets Q3 2013-Q3 2014)
BBC Scotland up 2.3 per cent (down two per cent)
