A simple ‘ yes’ or ‘ no’ will suffice.
I suspect not. Mike Read presents the same breakfast show that he did on BigL with many of the same listeners. UDJs is OK to dip and out of when the live shows are on but that's it.
We all have opinions. Mine is mine, yours is yours. Don't tell me yours is mine. I think that I was wrong once, but then again, maybe I was wrong!!
You can prove anything with statistics. Depends how they're measuring. Connections per month? Hours per month? Estimated coverage? You can look at their stream details, which show a somewhat different picture. Don't forget though, they also have a couple of small DAB+ outlets, which could make quite a difference.

I just wonder how they are financing them Cookie? It would be great to get BigL on a few- but I understand they are horrendously expensive to start and maintain.

You can indeed prove anything with statistics. I.E. I could prove and have prove that the majority of drivers on Anglesey drive Irish registered cars, purely by sitting on a flyover on the A55 at ferry unloading time

No idea how they're financing it Big John. I think they have one or two advertisers, but doubt that would cover much. Presenters are largely I believe volunteers, as we all are at Big L.
The DAB+ outlets I believe are probably quite cheap. As with the ones Caroline are carried on, they are the "trial" mini-Mux's. Low power transmissions. As a trial, with limited coverage, it's advantageous for the operator to get as many quality services on the multiplex as possible, so carriage will be at an advantageous price. Everyone wins. Carriage on larger DAB MUX's is, I believe extremely expensive.
How many people actually listen to them is debatable, due to limited coverage, most owners probably not regularly doing a re-scan to find new stations. Also, being DAB+ (a good thing), unfortunately means older DAB radios won't be able to receive it.
