Learning curve

The anxiety about subsuming radio, music and Sounds into a tv-management-dominated Content division is financial. There are no guarantees about future funding. For example, It'll take Charlotte Moore at least a year to understand the Orchestras problem, but there's no doubt her money people will be offering 'solutions'.

She's already a little loose with figures, announcing yesterday "I’m delighted that just last week we reached a record 3.7m listeners to Sounds."   Does this mean "Average Weekly Signed In Accounts to BBC Sounds" (which were reported at 3.6m in April last year ?)  Does she know you can sign in without listening ?  Does she know you can get a BBC account with any email address and any postcode in UK, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey ? And you're now encouraged to download the BBC Sounds app abroad ?
