6Music Listening Figures Reach Record High

Listeners break two million mark..

Earning both acclaim and threats of closure during its lifetime, BBC 6Music is continuing to find fans across the country and beyond.

The latest listening figures indicate that the station is going from strength to strength. Cracking the two million mark, 6Music had an average weekly audience of 2.1 million for the final three months of 2014.

It's a remarkable achievement. The first digital-only station in the UK to breach the two million barrier, Bob Shennan – controller of Radio 2 and 6 Music – hailed the figures as "a landmark moment."

"It is not going to be a mass mainstream station like Radio 1 or Radio 2 but the vast majority of the adult population still don't know about 6 Music," he said. "We will continue to look upwards to the next landmark, 2.5 million or something like that."

Well done, 6Music!
