BARB figures are quoted for TV viewing figures, only the monthly figures are now published for the public to see, for radio it's RAJAR and they report quarterly, with Q1 2022 figures out today, which includes GB News Radio that started testing in December and was officially launched on 4th January. Apparently they have been boasting this morning about their 239k listeners and 1.5m listening hours.
But, that listeners figure is just their average monthly 'reach', in comparison they had an average monthly 'reach' of 2.15m for their TV service in April, so it's just over 10% of the TV reach, and we know how that translates into low figures at any given point time, i.e. peaking around just 80-100k in the evenings.
Here's how that compares to the other talk stations, needless to say Radios 4 & 5 are at the top, the two LBC stations are next, but they have the benefit of LBC being on FM & LBC News on AM in the London area, as well as being on DAB nationally.
Probably a fairer comparison is Times Radio, TalkRadio & GBN Radio, as those three are only on DAB, and GBN Radio is well behind the other two in terms of 'reach', 'total hours' of listening and 'listening share', so in a nutshell, fuck all to boast about.

They've found another campaign - to stick the boot into Black Lives Matter
I was not aware of the issue specifically, so I Googled, and The Voice came out blazing

However the comments from readers are interesting at the end, including one which appears to be from an old Urban 75 favourite

The Police investigation in to Lee Jasper and the way he handed out money, found he wasn’t corrupt, just staggeringly incompetent.
Which I guess was to be expected.

I hate 'these days'...
Grimes proving he's still a massive wanker, just a couple of days after the anniversary of Sarah Everard’s murder, he will bemasturbatingdebating whether women have too many rights! And, just look at how he signs off this tweet!
A couple of replies...
Liked for the replies.
Incel/Volcel*. Potayto/Potahto. Dismal, miserable wankers who just want to make life as bleak for everyone else as it is for them...
* Your mileage may vary, necessary "not all etc" clause invoked....

That article is from February and is saying BLM are late filing accounts.....Fella on GB News is this month and seems to be citing specific payments so I'd guess BLM have, in the meantime filed the accounts.as they are obliged to

I thought the problem was the co-founder had bought expensive properties for relatives.
Unfortunately I don't know the US or California state equivalent of the Charity Commission so can't confirm or deny whether they have now filed the accounts.

Let's not forget the extremely strange story about the BLM accounts that were run by two White Aussie union organisers as well. With no evidence that they would've given any money to BLM.

Evidently.
It looked genuine, rather than some kind of satire. I didn't watch too much of it to find out.

He just seems to enjoy creating chaos. Former MP Lembit Opik vows to fight expulsion from Liberal Democrats
Last time I heard he was still pursuing his appeal process.
You would think that someone who gave a talk to a Tory conference on "How to Beat the Liberal Democrats" would simply join the Tories (lor maybe Labour).

Interesting to see old frog-face getting beaten in the ratings for GBN last night for the first time ever, by both Wootton and Steyn, that's going to hurt his ego.

Have I missed something and GBN is now part of Bauer or something? Adverts are getting quite commonplace on absolute and I might need to change my background work station

Dunno what Bauer is or what you're on about, but Bauer mentioned GB News on their website in 2021 and forecast it would "do well" with Andrew Neil at the helm

Isn't this some bloke's blog that happens to be about the two media companies?

From the website it looked like they offer paid-for subscriptions to stuff like Scala Radio with no adverts.
Seems a bit odd that one - we still have Radio 3 - just.

Bauer is the second largest radio group in the UK, after Global, their stations include Absolute, Scala, Hits, Greatest Hits, Kiss, Magic, Planet Rock, Kerrang Radio and Jazz FM, they also sell advertising on behalf most of the few independent radio stations left.
I see they have recently added GB News Radio to their list of 'partner stations', so they have started selling airtime on it, which surprises me, I didn't think they would be interested in talking on a talk station, as it doesn't fit in with any of their packages, i.e. the other partner stations are all bundled up and sold as part of the 'Hits' or 'Greatest Hits' networks.
