Just a few things to clarify * Our original post on onegoldensquare.com/stats is very clear that these live streamed hours are Worldwide, Monthly & Network. * You are correct the BBC stats are also worldwide & monthly * We are intending, as mentioned, to break out UK accurately over the coming months, but I am sure you appreciate the technical challenge that presents in terms of cookies, IP routing etc * For the statistics to have relevance we beleive it is better to compare like with like. BBC R1 to ABSOLUTE brand Other the coming months we hope to add: * UK/Other territories split * Break out for all Absolute Radio services * On-demand & listen again (Podcasts & Audio streams) * Daily & Weekly hours across all services, as well as brand. * Video on Demand hours from our site & our you tube channel Even more statistics but definately no lies...

Thanks for the post, although I agree with you, the headline is little harsh and suggests we are being misleading?

Just a few things to clarify

* Our original post on onegoldensquare.com/stats is very clear that these live streamed hours are Worldwide, Monthly & Network.

* You are correct the BBC stats are also worldwide & monthly
* We are intending, as mentioned, to break out UK accurately over the coming months, but I am sure you appreciate the technical challenge that presents in terms of cookies, IP routing etc
* For the statistics to have relevance we beleive it is better to compare like with like. BBC R1 to ABSOLUTE brand

Other the coming months we hope to add:
* UK/Other territories split
* Break out for all Absolute Radio services
* On-demand & listen again (Podcasts & Audio streams)
* Daily & Weekly hours across all services, as well as brand.
* Video on Demand hours from our site & our you tube channel

Even more statistics but definately no lies…

Or was the headline designed to create clicks to what is normally an excellent impartial blog?

Best,
Clive
