A survey commissioned by commercial radio body, the Radio Centre, says its listening hours have increased in at least a section of its regular audience during the second lockdown. 

Thirty-four per cent of listeners of commercial stations are tuning in for an additional one hour and 53 minutes each day this month compared with the period before the first lockdown. In the first lockdown, measured in April, 38% of listeners tuned in for an additional one hour and 45 minutes a day. 

There's still no sign of a promised 'Listening in Lockdown' update, promised by RAJAR for the end of October.
