A few remarks.
DAB Sky News Radio debuted with 34000 listeners. Priceline radio is has 2000 listeners while Chemist Warehouse has 23000 listeners. I don't see the point of these stations especially if one passes their stores and these stations are not heard.
4BH is 2nd in the Brisbane market. It shows that AM radio can rate.
Thanks

Sorry 4BH is 4th but it beat other FM stations. I stand by that AM can beat FM
