Forth 1 & 2 celebrate record listener figures

The latest RAJAR figures reveal that 331,000 listeners across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife & Falkirk tune into Forth 1 every single week. That would fill BT Murrayfield nearly five times over!

In Q4 2022, this impressive number helped Forth 1 reach its highest share of the East of Scotland audience for 10 years – with 18.9% of all radio listening choosing Forth 1 every week*. Forth 2 also enjoyed a great set of results with its highest reach in four years, attracting an audience of 74,000*.

Recently published RAJAR results also highlight impressive figures for sister stations, Clyde 1 & 2, MFR and Tay FM. MFR has similarly seen an increase in listeners, reaching 119,000 every week whilst Tay FM becomes an all-radio market leader for the first time in a decade, with a 16.4% share of all radio across Tayside & Fife. 

MFR’s Jodie At Breakfast has also had a great set of results with an increase of reach from 67k to 78.5k year on year.

Victoria Easton-Riley, Content Director for the Hits & Greatest Hits Networks across Scotland, said: “Given the challenging times that so many are experiencing, we’re proud that our stations are a trusted source and attracting some of our strongest audience figures to date, with many listeners tuning in for longer than ever before.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to all our teams across all our stations who work so hard everyday to bring content to our listeners, that not only informs them date but also makes them sing, dance, laugh and cry.

“It is going to be a very exciting year across Scotland for all of our stations. Not only are eight joining the Greatest Hits Radio family on 3 April, but on the same day we welcome radio legend Ken Bruce and the iconic PopMaster too.”
