Audience Up

After a shaky start to the summer, which saw big names Danny Baker and Jon Gaunt depart, the station turned its fortunes around, with a new lineup including JoAnne Good taking the Breakfast show chair and Jono Coleman’s return to the BBC London 94.9FM airwaves.

According to the press, ‘BBC London 94.9FM has recorded its second-highest audience figures ever, with 561,000 tuning in every week, according to the latest RAJAR figures covering July to September’.As I have mentioned several times, I love BBC London right now. It was sad when Danny Baker left – his was one of the most innovative morning shows – but JoAnne Good and the team have been excellent. I am very worried about Jono Coleman, as I am not very keen on him as a broadcaster, but I guess we’ll just have to see what the rest of the year brings.
