We use the largest available reported area for each station in RAJAR. Hold your mouse over the graph to discover what the surveyed name was. Where a station is surveyed across multiple areas, individual areas may achieve higher figures. Examine trends with care: numbers are not always comparable. Please note that all RAJAR listening figures from Q3 2021 have been calculated using a modified survey methodology and this should be considered when making comparisons against historical data.
