The latest radio listenership figures showed exceptional growth in the audience for Lyric FM. It increased its share to 3.1pc from 2.5pc, the kind of jump which is regarded as freakish by those in the radio audience percentage jump game.
It’s especially interesting because in many ways Lyric FM hasn’t changed. At least it hasn’t changed for the worse, which sometimes can get you more listeners than the better stuff. No, I believe it is the world that has changed.
