If you were listening during our June Appeal recently you may have heard us mention that last year we saw an increase of 40,000 more people listening to Sonshine every month, according to last year’s survey statistics. Well, we’re super excited to announce that the trend continues, with the first survey results of 2024 just released and showing that Sonshine has again seen a big jump in listeners, with another 17,000 monthly listeners added to the tally!
This time last year our listener numbers sat at 258,000 people each month… now that figure has reached 317,000! What excites us most about that is the fact that all those people are now hearing Lifewords, songs and stories of hope that they wouldn’t have heard on any other station they may have listened to previously.
The increase has seen a jump in listenership for all of our on-air shifts across weekdays and weekends. We’re also quite excited to see that our new DAB+ station Sonshine Extra has increased listenership from 42,000 people per month late last year, to 57,000 people per month now! If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, Sonshine Extra provides a 100% Christian option for those wanting the enjoy their favourite Christian artists and praise and worship songs 24/7. It’s available on DAB+, via our Sonshine App, and right here on our website!
