BBC Radio Scotland has seen its latest listening figures rise by 0.9 per cent on the corresponding period 12 months previously.
Says the radio listening auditing body, RAJAR, the station’s ‘reach’ between the first quarter (January – March) of last year and the same period this year rose from an average 923,000 listeners to 931,000.
‘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 Q1 2014-Q1 2015 (in brackets Q4 2013-Q4 2014)
BBC Scotland up 0.9 per cent (up 2.3 per cent)
