More Island listeners are making the switch to 3FM

That's according to the latest figures published by Radio Joint Audience Research (RAJAR) - the official body in charge of measuring radio audiences.

It shows more Manx listeners are now listening to 3FM, for the best feel good soundtrack & entertainment, alongside local news and Coronavirus updates.

42% of the Island’s population tune in every week - the station's biggest audience in the last 4 years and there's now only a 1% difference in listenership in comparison to Manx Radio.

3FM's website has also had a record breaking first quarter, with more than 3 million page views and videos hitting more than 1.5 million views in this quarter alone.

Meanwhile, 3FM News is a valued and trusted  source for Coronavirus, community and court reports.

Programme Director Jason Quinn said: "The figures are fantastic and I want to thank our audience for listening, watching and reading our content every day! The team at 3FM work tirelessly to deliver the best content so it is a great reward to see we are still the number 1 music station on the Island."
