Year on year, the figures show a weekly increase of 7,000 listeners, with a market share of 27.3%.

Programme controller, James Pllu said: “I’m delighted with the latest figures, and would like to thank the team at West Sound for working so hard to achieve these results.

“We have recently made some changes to our playlist to meet listeners’ demands. On top of this, we have had some exciting competitions including our monthly ‘£500 Fridays’. This proved to be very popular with our listeners.
