Predominantly middle aged to pensioners, Les. Thanks for your excellent advice.

Some people (myself included) listen to GMR in the car at various times during the day, but the many retired listeners tune in throughout the day and well into the evening.

Apparently the 'Drive Time' slot attracts an audience of 50,000, but our slot only 20,000. But then, people are driving home in their cars during 'Drive Time'... I think there's a clue in the name...!!

Once they are home, the telly is switched on, because most people get out of the car when they arrive home... hence the drop in audience... or am I missing something obvious?!!

Now GMR is available on DAB and online, perhaps there is a slight shift - but I would guess it's only 'ex-pat Mancs' who would access GMR that way?

Thanks for your support!

It sounds like Lincolnshire has already done what is about to happen to GMR... Radio Derbyshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Shropshire could well be next in line for the chop if we don't do something.

Alio and I are in no position to 'make waves' ourselves, as nothing has yet been officially announced. It's very disconcerting...
