UK Radio Listenership Reaches Record High Amid Digital Expansion
UK radio listenership has surged to a record high of 51 million weekly listeners, driven by the launch of new digital channels and spin-offs. Notable increases were seen in stations like Times Radio and GB News, as well as BBC's Radio 1 Dance and Radio 1 Anthems. Despite a slight decline in some flagship BBC stations, Radio 2 remains the most popular.
