The biggest gain has been to the Breakfast Show with Garry and Laura - which now has 26,900 new listeners.

The show, which is broadcast live on KMTV, reaches 116,000 listeners - an increase of 30% since the last quarter.

Another big winner was Drivetime with Rob Wills, adding 20,800 listeners, or another 30% increase.

Listeners are now choosing to tune in to kmfm on average 6.1 hours each week.

These results come at a time when the station increased the number of £1,000 Fridays competitions, broadcast Make Someone’s Christmas, A Shed Load of Toys plus a range of Christmas events across Kent.

Rob Wills, also kmfm Programme Manager, said "It's fantastic to see a record number of people listening to kmfm.

"It's a great reflection on both the team and the listeners, who play a big part in the station's success - whether that's through our on-air competitions, social channels, interacting with our fantastic shows or keeping us informed about the latest travel news."
