It's not really a _lot_ of people though is it; concert has a cumulative audience of 132,000 people a week (4% of all people 15+) to Sept 09. National has a listenership of about 495,000 (15% AP15+) and combined the two channels have an audience of 553,000. I think it's justified for the National radio channel, but concert needs to start pulling its weight because it's genre based - it's not like we have a drum and bass equivalent.
