If you were running it you'd keep the 'so called' presenters.
The numbers are the numbers. If they were going in the opposite direction the detractors would seize on them as vindication of their views. For balance, there is some slack in the system and some floating listeners are being hoovered up by the new Smooth. The steep rise in audience will level off at some point just like Magic London's did. It doesnt mean anything beyond a brand reaching saturation point in the market. |

Don't listen to It when Kate's on! If enough people do the same she'll be gone.

No, that defeats the object
I LIKE the music and we have it on at work. I can't just turn off for a few hours then turn back on.. BUT I hate Garraway soooooooooo much, It really makes me angry that I contribute to any figures associated with this totally piss poor presenter( and I use that term very losely) |

The only way a station would know a presenter wasn't popular using rajar is if people don't mark down that they listen and the audience goes down in their timeslot. If you don't get a diary you will not be counted as a listener at all. You could email them and tell them you hate the presenter. The thing is you are still listening so the station has done it's job. You listen to the station and advertisers can sell to you and the station can make money from you in the same way that they would if you liked the presenter. |

Correct. Rajar measures listening to the station as a whole. Stations will do their own research into how popular a presenter is.
The only way a station would know a presenter wasn't popular using rajar is if people don't mark down that they listen and the audience goes down in their timeslot. Did seem bizarre changing radio professionals like Simon Bates and Lynn Parsons with presenters from TVAM. But guess they are now better known from TV and suit the more music less chat style, but do not have the on air cosyness?. |

Looking at Paul Easton's hourly charts Smooth London still has problem with breakfast?

Only heard him once on drive. He's outstanding such a great personality just right to wake me up must remember to tune in.
First heard him on Capital Life breakfast then on LBC overnights which he sadly had to step down from due to illness then on Jazz fm where Surprise surprise he more than knew his stuff He then returned to LBC to do the 10pm slot where I will be honest he wasn't as good Amongst other things a talented voice over artist Royal Variey show announcer and also the voice of the Manchester commonwealth games I'm only sorry he's on Snooze fm as he's worth far more than a couple of paragraphs between tracks Oh and a very nice man as well 😄 |

yes you are right station id
I am doomed and very angry that I might be in some way contributing to a false premise that Garraway is anything but a piss poor radio presenter..but it seems there's nothing I can do about it. I don't think a letter to the station will change anything, somehow. |

Kate (she has a first name) Garraway may not be to your personal liking but she's contributed to a great set of listening figures for Smooth. That makes her an excellent presenter in my book. |

You should set your standards higher. Just because they have good figures it does not make Kate an excellent presenter. After all after 10am the Smooth presenters add very little to the output.
I have made my living from radio in the past and generally bigger audience means more money. I know which I would like. |
