It figures...

Football and politics served BBC radio well in the latest RAJAR listening figures. A record for Five Live (though not the digital Five Live Sports Extra), a record for Radio 4 - through Today to The Archers. A new high for 6Music, and a 22% year-on-year increase for the doomed Asian Network. BBC local radio lost 847,000 listener hours - about the same total lost by Radio 2. Dips for 1Xtra, BBC radio 7 and Radio 3 meant overall a lower share of a growing cake for the BBC, allowing commercial rivals to have a good quarter.
