The Steam Packet can't be arsed to put the information on their own site. Maybe that will change when it is fully government owned? The Steam Packet published updates today at 08:58, 09:55 and 17:28. It just took me the time between your post and this one to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re really good at updating the latest sailings page on the web site and on FB and to the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOR Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Yep, ok, just seen it on Facebook. Wasn't on the website page this morning though. I heard the update on Manx Radio but found fuck all on their website. https://www.steam-packet.com/ Edited December 28, 2022 by AOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of another though, in a lot of people over a lot of years. But would anyone actually admit they got one which led to the government propaganda machine we ended up with? Might as well move the MR newsdesk to the government press release office...or Ballakermeen media studies year 1. I did one. A couple of months ago Not sure how that relates to a government propaganda machine. Just gave honest answers as to what radio stations I listened to, at what time and via what medium (home, car radio, smartphones, Alexa etc) Took the option to donate my £5 reward for doing so to Cancer Care and received my free pen. Whats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any claims of audience based solely on rajar just are not credible. It would be interesting if Manx radio published the stats for downloads of podcasts, or streams via Alexa of this content loads of people love so much. Perhaps if some posters did a little simple desk top research they may find things out . For example did you know there are 56,800 subscribers to the Manx Radio smartphone notification service . Or more than 37.8 million website page reviews . More than 4.2 million video views . 262,428 2021 election mini site web page views . The data is all there for you to read try doing some research it can sometimes help !!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those figures higher or lower than 3FM? If I viewed the election mini site from the Manx Radio office would that count as multiple views? If I viewed it from home multiple times would that count as multiple views? Edited December 28, 2022 by Asthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great if all this information is publically available, then link the sources and we can do some simple 'desk top' reserch of website page reviews.

For example 3fm did not do any live election coverage for a start . And they don’t publish their data for content so I have no idea . But given the islands population is circa 85,000 you can do a quick calculation to work it out ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s publically available in Tynwald ! It’s all on the Manx radio website in the directors report which is an audited document. Like I said you don’t have to look far ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very easy to do like for like measures on social media or website traffic. 3FM win on nearly all counts without any public money being thrown at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
