“I would like to thank our teams around the country for their hard work in helping us to achieve these figures. There is a huge amount of talent across our network and our aim is to bring the best programming to our listeners in each of the communities we serve.
“One of our key strengths is ‘localness’ and this is clearly working at our stations across Scotland where we reach an incredible 41 per cent of listeners in each area. I am also delighted that Clyde 1 has regained its market leadership with 134,000 more listeners per week than its nearest competitor.”
