A record number of people are tuning in to kmfm.

Latest industry RAJAR figures show 233,000 are listening to Kent's radio station for almost 1.6 million hours every week.

kmfm Breakfast with Garry and Laura lead the way with 55,000 new listeners choosing to wake up with the pair, while 42,000 extra people are driving home with Rob Wills since this time last year.

Rob Wills, kmfm programme manager, said: “We are so excited to be welcoming more listeners to Kent's Radio Station.

"Back in May, we were told we broke the record for the most listeners in the history of kmfm, so to be hearing that again today feels fantastic.

"Everything we do is about Kent and it's great to see that people across the county are making the switch."

Neil Webster, commercial director, said: “Everyday we hear from businesses big and small across Kent, saying that advertising with us is working for them with customers quoting they have 'heard their advert' on our fantastic station.

"With our audiences continuing to grow on-air and digitally why not start a conversation with us on how we can help grow your business here in Kent."

These results are for the period January - June 2019 at a time when kmfm sent a family to Tenerife on holiday as well as giving away Little Mix tickets, Buckmore Park experience and P&O Ferries summer vacations.

You may have seen the kmfm Street Team at many events and locations across the county including Hempstead Valley, Lydden Hill, Stembrook Lane in Dover, Westwood Cross, Pantiles Tunbridge Wells and Betteshanger Park.

It is the second month in a row the station has posted record figures after results in May also revealed a big increase in listener numbers.

kmfm is now the only commercial radio station broadcasting to the whole of Kent from studios in the county following a decision to close Whitstable based Heart Kent.
