Friday Figures - 1 Oct

A year on, the Why Not Her? Collective reconvene to assess the gender disparity and progress in UK radio with a follow up in their report ‘2020-2021 UK Gender/Racial Disparity Data Report on UK Radio’. On the whole, progress has been really slow as we see here - of the top 50 British artists, women accounted for 20% – an increase of just 1% on last year! The power of radio cannot be ignored in its accessibility to the general population. 

Read the full report here, where you can also find the gender breakdown of the most popular 27 radio stations in the UK.
