Seems that this one has slipped under the radar, but the Q2 numbers are out tomorrow morning (August 6th) at 7am.

Any early predictions?

I have a weird, complete gut feeling that Radio One will be slightly down, including Moyles. I think Wogan might be down too, but his #1 spot is probably safe. It'd be nice for Moyles to get the top spot because it's a high to return the show on, but I just have a weird feeling that it might not happen. The increases of the last quarter suggests there may be a levelling out to "restore balance" so to speak. But I hope I'm wrong.

For historical purposes, Q2 2008 saw Moyles and Wogan both down. Q2 2007 saw Radio One, Scott and Chris all up.

So what say you?

Moyles Up (Slightly), Radio 1 down, Wogan Up.

Moyles has not had a proper holiday this quarter so it would be strange for it to go down, especially as they have been on good form recently.

I'm guessing my local station, Real Radio in Yorkshire hasn't faired too well, as usually on the morning of the Rajar figures been announced, the jingles are changed to reflect their 'success'

Generally, it seems positive for Moyles, but at the moment Wogan seems to have a tighter grip.

But, Wogans audience is alot older than Chris'. They're gonna all die one day

Sir Terry Pulls Ahead Of Moyles

BBC Radio 2's Wake up to Wogan is the UK's most popular breakfast radio show, according to new figures from industry body Rajar.

Figures for the first three months of 2009 suggested Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles might be gaining on his rival.

But new data shows 7.93 million people tuned in Sir Terry each week, compared with 7.72 million who prefer Moyles.

Elsewhere, BBC Radio 3 has reason to celebrate after achieving its biggest audience for more than two years.

<!-- E SF -->A total of 2.02 million people tuned in each week during the last measurement period of 30 March to 28 June.

Rajar figures also show BBC Radio 4's audience now exceeds 10 million after attracting around 465,000 new listeners in the past year.

Significant rise

But its flagship Today programme saw a slight fall in its weekly audience, its current reach of 6.51 million down on the 6.69 million posted last quarter.

Sir Terry and Moyles were almost neck and neck in the last set of quarterly figures, with the Radio 2 presenter ahead by around 80,000 listeners.

The veteran broadcaster's lead is now more significant, having attracted more than 200,000 additional listeners to his regular morning broadcast.

In the commercial sector, Classic FM saw its audience rise by more than 300,000 over the past three months to just over 5.7 million.

The figures show that more than 90% of the UK population aged 15 and over tune in to their favourite radio station for at least five minutes in the course of a normal week.

Haha Great line!

For at least 5 minutes? Loyal audience who do that then. I listen to at least 4 hours a day in the week with Scott/Zane/Moyles.

They forget that Moyles must have a lot of kids that won't be counted in the ratings. An unfair disadvantage on Wogan. Add that in and I like to think they're equal ;)

I've always wondered, when the press and commercial radio rant that Radio 1 is too old and needs to aim for a younger audience, are the average age numbers accounting for an audience that don't show up in the ratings?

      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.

      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?

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.
