Industry Readies Itself For RAJAR

Tomorrow will see the release of the latest wave of RAJAR data, providing radio listening data for Q3 2005, with broadcasters and advertisers alike eagerly awaiting the new statistics.

The figures promise an update on the closely fought London market, with the battle between GCap’s Capital 95.8, Chrysalis’ Heart 106.2 and Emap’s Magic 105.4 guaranteed to grab headlines.

Attention will also be focused on the breakfast market, with the new figures representing the last full quarter with Christian O’Connell at the helm of Xfm’s morning show and lifting the lid on DJ Neil ‘Dr’ Fox’s beginnings at Magic 105.4.

Updates on the performance of Capital FM’s Johnny Vaughan Breakfast Show and Jamie Theakston’s morning role with Heart 106.2 will also be eagerly anticipated, while Virgin’s newest signings, Vic Reeves and Tim Lovejoy will also be judged for the first time.

The latest RAJAR data will be live on MediaTel.co.uk’s Radio database from 7am tomorrow, with detailed reports and analysis of key markets featured on NewsLine throughout the day.
