RAJAR Q4 2013

Recommended Posts

RAJAR's are out next week! (Thu 06 Feb). What do we think?

Last results were particularly bad, especially for Grimmy, but then Q3 is usually the worst one for the year, so I suppose an increase is expected. However, if Grimmy's do go down again and go under the 5.5 million mark, I can't see him on breakfast much longer.

Some figures to compare for next week:

Last RAJAR's (Q3 2013):

Station: 10.83 million

Breakfast: 5.58 million

Last year (Q4 2012):

Station: 11.09 million

Breakfast: 6.69 million

I think Grimmy's listening figures will be in the region of around 5.7 million. His shows are sounding a lot better than this time last year but I think the public are still mourning the departure of Moyles and the team.

Overall, I think R1 will be up on this time last year at around 11 million. The station are planning big things this year with AAA (Access All Areas) starting on Monday and running throughout the month of February and the Big Weekend in Glasgow in May.

R2 will still be the biggest listened to station. On occasion, I have listened to Chris Evans and I really love the idea of his show: A mix of news and music to suit all the family. Whereas R1 only caters for "the kids" like me.

I think Grimmy's will be around 5.6 million, a small increase, but nothing substantial. The show does sound better, but it still lacks anything special, and is no comparison to Moyles. Radio 1 overall, again a small increase as this quarter usually does, but I think they will still not quite make the 11 million mark - perhaps 10.95?

Grimmys audience in Q4 should certainly be higher than Q3 due to college and uni students going back after the summer hols.If not he's in big trouble.It'll probably still be less than 6 million though

Radio 1 attracted 10.97 million listeners during the period (in line with 10.83m last quarter and 11.09m last year) with a share of 6.9%, (from 6.6% last quarter and 7.4% last year). The Nick Grimshaw Breakfast Show added 700,000 listeners over the quarter to register a weekly audience of 6.29 million (5.58m last quarter and 6.69m last year).

The MailOnline have an article today claiming that the average age of listener at Radio 1 is still 32 despite the station making radical changes to lower the average age. Ben Cooper admits that it is concerning but essentially cannot "make people stop listening" This prompts the question of what more can be done to lower the average age?

Let's just hope he's not tempted to replace Scott with one of the younger DJs.

    • People Party Playlist? WhooooOOoOoooOOOOoooOOooOOoooooOOooooooO
    • The irony of Jordan moving to Capital Radio is it seems to speed up Greg's eventual move from Radio 1 Breakfast. I think Greg's show is great, but he hasn't had any significant competition in his time on mornings. Now there is there'll be more scrutiny of the figures, he might be more tempted to move, which is probably what Jordan wanted before he left!
    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital?
