So Manx Radio received their latest listening figures yesterday morning. There’s not much to say, fairly static for the last quarter of 2019. So whilst there is little sign of growth, also not much in the way of decline either. Moving forwards, the figures are worth watching. They are still way way down from what they were a few years ago.

To be fair, it will take most Manx Radio listeners a few years to figure out how to re-tune the wireless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I remember reading a thing many years ago about a poor old bugger who had an old pre-war steam radio in the corner tuned permanently because of a busted mechanism to 247m for the Light Programme. He was stuck with Radio 1 when that started in 1967, and further bemused by Radio 3 with the 1978 changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the pirates like Blackburn, Hairy Monster and Everett were still in their 20s in the early 70s, although not so much when some were still hanging around in the early 90s. The confusingly named Jimmy Young was an ancient relic even in the 70s despite being considered suitable for Radio 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I take it the figures are out then seeing as there are stories about UK national radio figures in the news. How's it looking for MR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Who actually collates these figures ? When I hear figures mentioned my cynicism creeps in there is nothing easier to manipulate than a set of figures ask any accountant or politician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t stand that irritating prick. One of the most over-hyped irksome fuckers ever to be put in front of a microphone. ‘Housewives favourite’ my arse.
