News Broadcasting celebrates another set of outstanding RAJAR results
It’s another win for talkSPORT. News Broadcasting is celebrating another set of outstanding RAJAR – an organisation that measures how many people listen to radio stations – results. Tuchel’s arrival as England’s new manager was covered by talkSPORT as listeners tuned in in their millionsGetty The group includes talkSPORT, Virgin Radio UK, Times Radio, and Talk, as well as U105 in Northern Ireland, delivered a strong 7.7 percent year-on-year increase in reach to 6.6 million weekly listeners, with cumulative listening hours of 43.9 million. The talkSPORT network achieved a notable increase in listeners in Q4 to 3.6 million, an increase of 7.4 per cent, including 904k female listeners, a record for the channel. As the world’s largest sports radio station extended its status as an official Premier League broadcaster, it covered more than 120 football matches in the period – including the Champions League group stages – and kept listeners up to date around the announcement of Thomas Tuchel as the new England manager and the sacking of Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager. News UK EVP, President of Broadcasting, Scott Taunton, said: “News Broadcasting continues to set the pace for digital audience growth, reaching 6.6 million highly engaged adults every week and boasting an industry-leading 86 per cent of total listening hours from streaming and DAB platforms. “talkSPORT is a sports media brand in rude health, building on its position as the destination for exclusive live sport coverage, news and opinion, with a record 3.6 million weekly listeners for Q4. “As audio and video platforms continue to converge, News Broadcasting has continued its fast growth in visualised form, achieving 764 million global video views across Facebook, YouTube and TikTok during the quarter. talkSPORT’s recent launch onto smart TV, in partnership with LG Channels, Samsung TV Plus, FireTV, Apple TV and Google TV, is further demonstration of our innovation and ambition on behalf of our audiences and commercial partners.”
