In a week in which the BBC's use of statistics got a paid-for pasting, let's take a longer-term look at radio listening, as we review the latest quarterly figures, up to December - whilst also remembering there've been various changes to the way the figures are collected over the years.
All BBC network stations are down year-on-year, with the exceptions of Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, because of the first winter World Cup, and 1Xtra. The total for BBC Local Radio is down, from around 9m a year ago, to 7.7m - that may be because of their rights issues with the World Cup, or that the December 2021 figures were something of an outlier.
Weekly reach going back this century smoothed over five year chunks...
And total weekly hours over the same period
