*** LISTENING FIGURES ***

In January 2008 we commissioned an independent survey, carried out by students from Bournemouth University. People were questioned at random on the streets of Verwood about their listening habits. We were really pleased with what we discovered.

90% of people questioned had heard of Forest FM

48% of people questioned said they listened to Forest FM

To put these figures in perspective, any large local commercial station would be very happy with a listening figure of 20%. We believe our truly local service and knowledge of our area, combined with our music policy is something that attracts Listeners. There are 16,000 people in Verwood itself and around 50,000 people in our immediate transmission area so we are estimating we have at least 20,000 Listeners. Add another 4,000 people per month listening online and we have some pretty impressive figures. And by the way - we also asked people what they listened to if they didn't listen to Forest FM and most people told us - Radio 2, Wave and Radio Solent. Average age of those surveyed was 45. Most listened to us in the car with many listening at home as well. So - what can we say ? We say Thank You for listening !
