Consider 4MBS Classic FM and . . .

Both statistically and anecdotally, 4MBS ClassicFM can boast a weekly audience of over 90,000 listeners - a figure consistent with official A C Nielsen commercial listening research. 4MBS and ABC ClassicFM are acknowledged to "share" audience – eg. the listener to one station almost automatically has the other as its secondary choice. With ABC Classic FM consistently rating between 85,000-100,000 weekly listeners in south-east Queensland,it is accepted that 4MBS ClassicFM would enjoy the same or near same size audience– perhaps even larger, because of our loyal local audience. Another major consideration with Classical music as a format is the audience loyalty factor. Most commercial stations boast "average time spent listening" of between 10-12 hours per week. Classical Music listeners are known to tune in for up to twice as long!
