Picture: GB News/Youtube screenshotGB News Radio has overtaken Times Radio’s weekly reach for the first time according to the latest RAJAR radio listening figures for Q2 2024. The growth saw it overtake closest rival, News Broadcasting’s Times Radio, which itself launched in June 2020. CloseGB News commercial director Nicole O’Shea said: “These figures underline the strong continued growth of GB News Radio across the United Kingdom. BBC Radio 5 Live saw growth of 6% year-on-year and 10% quarter-on-quarter to a weekly reach of 5.4 million while Talksport was up 9% and 1% respectively to 3.7 million. Possibly due to the football-heavy period, Talksport's breakfast show (weekly reach of 1.33 million) moved above Nick Ferrari on LBC (1.3 million) in our ranking of news/talk-based stations.
