"We have more people tuning in across the entire week than ever before in the station’s history. Enormous credit must go to our hard-working teams behind the scenes. They are creating great radio that is being expertly delivered by our stellar presenters.

"There is significant growth over the past eight months on every part of our schedule; from early morning to afternoon and the drive home as well as our weekend line up which is reaching levels we have never seen before.

"As we continue to grow our mission stays the same: Cover the stories that matter to our listeners in a way that brings something new, engages and entertains."
