We had our quarterly audience figures in today for Chill. It's obviously been a difficult quarter for those of you who used to listen on DAB in areas where we came off a few months ago, so we were expecting something of a drop in audience size.
But you've surprised us - and I want to say a BIG thank you!
Chill's weekly audience has actually gone UP this quarter from 220,000 to 229,000. Now this does include some months of still being on DAB in places where we are no longer on, but I noticed something very encouraging. The audience figures show how people listen to Chill. Thousands of people have followed our invitation to switch from DAB to other ways to listen to Chill, like
www.helpyouchill.com, Sky or Virgin Media.
You've also been joining our listener community and inviting your friends, so it's thanks to you that we've actually added new listeners.
Just to encourage you to join in if you haven't already, the audio quality of our web stream is fantastic, and you can listen in lots of ways - from new internet radios to picking us on a phone you may already have. There are lots of ideas in our FAQ section at
www.helpyouchill.com - as well as people swapping ideas for tunes and other things which help them chill.
Hope to see you there, and thanks again for sharing Chill with your friends!
