Kmfm has recorded one of its best ever audiences - with listener numbers and tune-in times on the rise.

Now more than 185,000 adults listen every week - an increase of 15,000 from the last quarter, and nearly 19% up on this time last year.

Listeners are now tuning in an average 7.7 hours each week.

This means overall listening is up more than 70% since the summer, according to official figures audited by RAJAR.

Doing particularly well is the new breakfast show with Garry and Emma, which has added 23,000 listeners - or 40% - since it launched in the summer.

All other weekday shows have also seen an excellent growth in listening numbers since the last survey.

KM Group managing director Richard Elliot said: "It's fantastic that so many more people are now listening to kmfm - we are the only station broadcasting exclusively from Kent to Kent.

"I would like to say a huge thanks to everyone for tuning in."
