I wonder how many of that 8 million weekly listeners have moved over to GHR - as I have a feeling with Radio 2 available everywhere in the UK on every platform, and GHR not exactly in the same position, his listening figures might be low. Anyone know?He started in April. The latest Rajar figures were for Q1 so Jan/Feb/Mar. No one will really know until the Q2 figures come out, presumably in July.
It won't be anywhere near his Radio 2 audience, the lady experience of DJs like Chris Evans, Graham Norton and Simon Mayo has proved that.
One thing to consider is that GHR had a big increase in audience in Q1, possibly partly the publicity from Ken Bruce's signing even though he hadn't started yet. So any increase he makes might not look as good as it should do
