Benefiting from much publicity, 6 Music has increased its audience once again this quarter to 1.19m - double the amount of listeners it had this time last year.

And Radio 2 breakfast host Chris Evans is over his honeymoon period with one million listeners less than when he started, but still attracts a record 8.48 million.

His latest RAJAR results are down from last quarter’s record of 9.53m but up from last year’s 8.25m and the second highest total ever recorded for an individual programme.

Radio 1 is up this quarter to 11.81 million listeners per week, up from last quarter’s record 11.74m and 11.34m last year. The Chris Moyles Show has 7.72 million listeners every week – the same as last year but slightly down on last quarter’s record 7.88m.

Radio 2 attracted its second highest ever weekly reach of 13.73 million – from 13.42m last year and 14.57m last quarter and Radio 3 has a weekly reach of 1.86 million listeners (2.02 last year and 2.03 last quarter).

RADIO 2 star Chris Evans has lost a million listeners on his breakfast show in the past three months.

But he still retains a healthy lead over Radio 1 rival Chris Moyles and remains king of the UK morning shows.

The ginger DJ, who celebrated record figures for the first three months of the year, came back down to Earth with a bump when the latest official Rajar figures were announced.

They revealed that many of the extra listeners Evans, 44, gained from Sir Terry Wogan had switched off in the three months to June.

His record ratings of 9.52m slumped to 8.47m, which is still 300,000 more than tuned into Wogan, 72, before he called it a day.

And, crucially, he is still enjoying a lead of more than a million over Moyles, 36, who also lost listeners during the last quarter, down from 7.88m to 7.71m.

The figures will increase rivalry between Evans and Moyles, who is desperate to become the UK’s most-listened-to DJ.

Elsewhere, Radio 5 Live’s breakfast show, hosted by Nicky Campbell, 49, enjoyed a boost of 300,000, helped by coverage of the World Cup.

Commercial rival talkSPORT also enjoyed a big surge during the World Cup, taking its breakfast show, hosted by ex-Scotland striker Alan Brazil, 51, back over the 1m mark.

Overall it was the most successful quarter since records began, with a high of 46.8m listening to shows across all radio stations.

Damn you, The Stig. We were seconds apart in posting this!

I'm pleased to see people tuning out of Evans. There's always a natural decline just before summer. Hopefully Moyles will build upon this next quarter to close in on Evans.

Damn you, The Stig. We were seconds apart in posting this! I'm pleased to see Evans being put back in his place. The gap is certainly closing in between Radio 2 and Radio 1 now.

Ha ha! Thought it must have been close as we were both 1.04! Chris will be happy with those I think, consistant which is always good. As for Evans they are more truly reflective on his audience, a lot of his extra listeners from last Q would have purely been people tuning it out of curiosity. Plus I've hard a lot of people who listen to him who say his show is getting very repetative.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Summer on Radio 1

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
