A greater way to measure speech programme audiences than a few random people completing diaries I have never been sent, is the amount of listener contributions. James Whale did not get many listener contributions on drive, which should theoretically have more listeners.

In other words, you don't really mind presenters expressing controversial views as long as they're in line with your views. George Galloway could speak about Tony Blair in the same way as Katy Hopkins speaks about people on benefits and he will be considered "intilectual" while Katy Hopkins is dismissed as a "gobshite".
If George Galloway's views were more in line with the Daily Express and Katy Hopkins' views were more in line with the Morning Star, those who prefer George Galloway would prefer Katy Hopkins and vice versa.
