  • Record audiences for Radio 4 Extra and Radio 1Xtra
  • All four BBC digital-only networks now reach over a million listeners
  • Figures show 31.5% of all radio is consumed digitally

Radio 1 reaches 11.27 million listeners every week – compared to 11.14m last quarter and 11.69 last year – and has a share of 8.3%, - from 8.2% last quarter and 8.5% last year. The Chris Moyles Show now has 6.93 million listeners every week – from 7.10m last quarter and 7.44m last year.

Greg posted this on facebook...

Just found out listening figures for the new Drivetime show went up lots since I started in April. Happy happy boy. Thank you all for bothering to listen - without you I'd just be a mentalist in a room talking to myself. I AM that but the fact people are listening kind of makes it OK. Just.

It might not mean his figures are higher than Scott's it could conceivably mean that his figures have gone up since he moved to drive or am I clutching at straws?

Does anyone have access to individual show data. Such as Cotton, Mills and Greg James' show figures each 3 months. I would be interested to see if Scott has increased the listenership in the 1-4 slot...

I would also love to know this info. Can't believe that James has got more listeners. His show is so much worse than Scotts ever was. Unfortunately i can't listen to Scotts show now, and i am sure many people are in a similar position due to work/school. I hope Justice is served!

Surprised that 1Xtra has got more listeners, however the amount they plug it on R1 it ought to :( Really getting fed up of hearing about 1Xtra on Radio 1

Capes :)

He's got the Drive audience... put it this way: People were skeptical about Scott being in the Drive slot after the success of Moyles there that got him promoted to Breakfast, but he seems to have held his own fine for same time Chris was in Breakfast so...

Controversially, I actually think Greg's show is excellent! Sure, I was one of those people who were outraged at the swap and thought it would never work, but I acutally think he is really suited to drivetime now. If you compare him now compared to last year its like a completely different show.

I think the swap has improved both shows. Scott has lost the quantity of (weak, chavvy) guests that he used to get, which has been so good for the show as a whole. Greg's getting a bit more mental, which is good, like the Clare Balding thing, and being rude to people, however the older feet-up friday was better, and the puns are not funny.

I know that, and sometimes they do make me laugh, but it's the style of the feature... the listener suggested ones are handled badly. Not quite sure how to word what's wrong with his delivery of the puns. Maybe it's the fact his voice sounds genuinely pleased with suggesting them.

I've not really listened much to Greg since he's taken over drivetime what I've heard has been OK but when Grimmy covered it was very good.

I've broadened my horizons though Simon Mayo (Radio 2), Eoghan McDermott (XFM) & Geoff Lloyd (Absolute). All do very good Drive Time shows but annoyingly they all start at 5.00 not 4.00.

    • I must admit a broad smile to myself when I got in the car just after 1pm today and realised I'd timed it perfectly to avoid Danny! Just listened back to that earlier link, just horrific and what's worse is that Danny doesn't seem to have improved even vaguely since the first show. As Greg20 said, the show is being driven by a producer which makes the mess even less excusable.
    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
