The figures above are the official listening figures for UK radio.

They represent each station's weekly adult audience (15+). Under 15's are not surveyed.

This information is compiled by RAJAR (Radio Joint Audience Research Limited), and updated quarterly.

If your favourite radio station isn't on the list, it could be for several reasons.

  • Maybe it's new - many stations like some time to settle before being included on RAJAR.
  • Or maybe they conduct their own local research - some of the smaller stations do this.
  • We're often asked why IRN (Independent Radio News) and Sky News Radio are not included. This is because they are news agencies, not radio stations and therefore not surveyed by RAJAR. We can supply figures for the stations who take IRN and Sky material if you ask us nicely!

If you would like us to let you know when the new quarterly figures are available, please submit your details below.
