“According to RAJAR, Clyde 1 now reaches an audience of 575,000 listeners each week improving year on year adding 45,000 to its audience.
“Similarly, listening hours have increased in this same period and the station can boast a market share of 14.6 per cent ahead of the nearest commercial competitor by a clear 4.5 points in the market.
“Clyde 1 and Clyde 2 have an on-going commitment to deliver a locally-focused product expertly tailored for audience and championing their local communities.
“The focus on delivering extraordinary hit music, entertainment, news, sport, travel and showbiz both on air and through multiple digital and social media channels continues to engage audiences and ensures that a clear gap is maintained between Clyde 1 and its competitors.
“This approach is paying dividends on Clyde 1 and today’s figures show that every single daytime show between 6am – 10pm weekdays has more listeners than any other radio station in this market.
“George & Suzie in the Morning add a further 10,000 listeners to their No1 breakfast show stretching ahead of its nearest commercial competitor by four share points. This equates to a massive 104,000 more listeners each week. Now almost a year old, the show is proving to be a runaway success with the listeners.
“Clyde 1 Superscoreboard commands the envious position of being the number one sports show both during weeknights (6-8pm) and at weekends beating off all its rivals with a 15 per cent share of the available audience during the week and a 24.3 per cent share at the weekends; leading its nearest commercial competitor by 17 points.
