Our brands continue to a deliver the biggest and most loyal audiences – there are simply too many highlights to list but I would like to single out the enormous success of our first multiplatform breakfast initiative The Paul Henry Show with its growing success in TV being mirrored with these fantastic results on Radio Live.
