Lend me your ears

Article Abstract:

Between April and June 1998, commercial radio stations accounted for 51.1% of British listening, compared to the BBC's 46.8%, according to a Rajar survey. BBC Radio 1 has failed to improve its all time audience low of 9.7%, while Radio 4 has also declined further. The big four national commercial stations together accounted for around 10% of total listening, although Atlantic suffered a significant decline compared to the same period of 1997.

Return of the undead

Article Abstract:

Gameshows formed a key part of early evening programming right from the beginnings of television, and have always been extremely popular. In many cases, new gameshows are simply a revived version of old formats, and the same hosts appear over and over again. Audiences tend to prefer gameshows which have a slightly serious element, rather than those which simply make fools of the participants.

Sporting strife

Article Abstract:

The increased number of cable, satellite and digital television broadcasters has lead to a decline in the number of sports programmes shown on terrestrial television. Many traditional sporting events were covered by the British Broadcasting Corporation or Independent Television, although the emergence of Sky Broadcasting has taken many important events into the realms of pay-per-view.
