A couple of good breakfast figures for the BBC in the latest radio figures covering the three months to December 2025.
Sam Jackson's pick of the flat, Stoke-tinged vowels of Tom McKinney to replace the rounded plum of Petroc Trelawny at breakfast on Radio 3 seems to be settling. Whilst the station overall reaches 1.91m a week (it has been above 2m under Jackson), the breakfast show is up 2% year on year, and has picked up 22% quarter on quarter - McKinney started in April.
Radio 5 Live's breakfast team will be pleased with a 5% rise, year on year. TalkSport's breakfast is catching them up - with a 15% rise. Today is down 5%. At Virgin Radio, the mighty Chris Evans is down 18% year on year. At Heart, Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston are up 5%.
As BBC interim DG Rhodri Talfan Davies gets his feet under the table this week, BBC Local Radio in England is down 10% year on year, to 4.6m - that compares with 6.7m in 2021, when Rhodri became Direcor of Nations.
