Also on this packed show: it’s Rajars week. How have stations across the country performed? Adam Bowie takes us through who’s up and down.

All that plus: another new station is planned on BBC Sounds, we talk to Scottish firms Speccy Productions and The Development Network, both looking to buck the commissioning slowdown trend... and, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we play... MediaMaster.

The Media Quiz is sponsored by Audio Network. Alex (who is a real person) selects the music for us to score each episode and she and her team can do it for you too at https://audionetwork.com

This Rajars special of The Media Club is in partnership with radio experts, the audio advertising specialist... bringing you a sound perspective.
