UK Radio Ad Revenue Falls

Whilst recent RAJAR figures reveal a continuing upward trend in UK commercial radio listening (see Newsline), this has not been converted into revenue as figures for Q2 show a decline in ad revenue of 14.5% when compared with Q2 2000. National advertising fell by 18.6% but this drop was offset slightly by a fall of just 2.7% for local radio advertising.
