[James R]

Both Radio 1 & Grimmy up:

Over at Radio 1, the weekly reach was 11.02 million, a 7.4% rise quarter on quarter from 10.26 million but down 2.2% year on year from 11.27 million. Its share was 6.8%, compared to 6.7% last quarter and 8.3% last year.

The Nick Grimshaw Breakfast Show was also up on the quarter to 5.89 million from 5.78 million. The year on year figures were down from 6.93 million.

It will be interesting to see what the average age is of the audience and whether or not Cooper has succeeded in getting it down. That's more important to him than the total audience figures.Grimmy can breathe a sigh of relief-he'll have his contract on breakfast extended for at least another year.Greg James will have to wait a bit longer for his turn! .

I suppose it also kills off any remaining possibility of Moyles ever coming back,not that that was likely anyway.Radio One has survived without him,surprise surprise!

Grimshaw attracts on average just under 5.9m listeners each week, according to the latest Rajar figures. The Guardian reports that 70% of the new audience are in the 15- to 24-year-old bracket, while the average age of a Radio 1 listener is 32.

Station controller Ben Cooper said: "It is brilliant to see that we are reaching 750,000 new listeners on Radio 1, and we are particularly happy to see an increase in younger audiences to our breakfast show."

Scott revealed on his show that he's up 500,000 listeners from the last quarter!

That has to fly in the face of the whole "younger djs" theory.

Wow. That's incredible. He deserves it though. The show has sounded brilliant this quarter - some great people playing Innuendo Bingo, fantastic guests, Fish Pie Sues, The Headline Game, the Wimbledon stuff they do and RONR is always brilliant (particularly the Charlie Sloth and Sara Cox days). So pleased for all the team.

Taken from Matt Deegan's RAJAR Facts...

I thought I’d have a look at the market share of the weekday programmes on R1:

Grimmy – 7%

Fearne/Sara Cox – 7.1%

12.45 Newsbeat – 7.6%

Scott Mills – 8%

Greg James part 1 – 8.8%

5.45 Newsbeat – 8%

Greg James – Part 2 – 7.3%

Zane Lowe – 6.7%

Specialist – 5.1%

Phil & Alice – 3.7%

Scotts show is sounding really really good at the moment, the introduction of Chris Stark combined with the new producer Cara have both really helped to make it a really great show again, also loving the radio gold moments they keep having such as the RONR a few weeks ago when it was Scott, Charlie Sloth, Chris Stark, Zane Lowe and even Greg James at one point, and also the 30 minutes of Chris in the studio by himself, also hilarious! The only thing that would bring in more listeners would be to have Mila Kunis on Innuendo Bingo!

I was thinking about why it had added so many listeners and I agree, I think its due to Cara and AP Chris, and also Chris Stark. There just seems to be a whole load of new energy, ideas and excellent guests.

If Scott Mills was 10 years younger he would have replaced Moyles last year.That's a fact
