I understand why ten coded Wake Up’s early section differently as 6.30 to 7.00 is always going to be low but now there’s only a 1,000 between them it indicates just how incredibly poor their ratings are. They could broadcast a clock, some music and rotating traffic and weather reports and get those numbers.
