It's gone down in ratings I see, which I don't find that all surprising since it's from around late last year where I felt the show has gone a bit downhill and hasn't fully recovered from. Maybe it is the fact that Andy Parfitt has left and it is someone else who is in control now that the show is different in a certain way and I am not loving it at the moment. I don't see myself listening to full shows anymore for the most part, as nothing entertaining comes out of certain links and most of the links nowadays consists of competitions or promotional stuff on radio 1, which I know they have to do of course.

Month coming up now isn't going to be pretty since it will be plugging the Hackney weekend to death, which I hate but has to be done.

To be fair, this doesn't truly represent the full audience of the show, especially if you take into account iPlayer (which you're never allowed to, because the BBC has an unfair advantage) and the podcast. Sad that the live audience isn't bigger, but to be fair I don't actually count as part of it!

The Rajar system is a bunch of nonsense anyhow.

[DarroM]

Yeah like they don't count under 15s or something along those lines, which i don't get whatsoever.

I agree that the RAJAR system is flawed, but as far as I know they have never included iplayer and podcast figures, so these figures still have some relevance. Whether they include ALL listeners or not it is still a decent indication of whether the show has gained or lost listeners.

I think they have discussed on the show about the accuracy of the figures.

I'm surprised that the 'Moyles about to be sacked from radio one' brigade hasn't started allready! As long as the figures stay above 7 million everythings cool!
