With a fairly rapid fall from day one this looks fairly similar to what
we would expect. Numbers may be a little down but not that much. Any
idea what the dotted blue line is?

Thanks Jon.
Following on from that, Benjamin has just sent me these figures for
visits to the HR website so far.

The figures quoted by Simon broadly agree with the bit of monitoring I
did (particularly on day 1 when I was checking to ensure we didn't max
out) and line up with the trend we always see during a broadcast. Peak
is mid morning on the first day then it tails of to a lower, more steady
figure throughout the remainder of the broadcast.
There's some stats attached for the last two weeks with an assortment of
numbers on them. I'll repeat what I've said before when reading these in
that (from a peak listener count) I don't know exactly how they are
measured because these have never represented the actual max listeners
shown on the server in this (or any previous years). I think they are
more based on number a sampling of total connections coming in over the
preceding hour. Hence this gives a figure that appears much higher. You
can of course make stats tell you anything you like given enough
tweaks.....

These figures Are they the number of listeners from our website radio
player only?
I listen on Alexa via Tunein. Does Tunein count as one listener as I
guess we have no idea how many are listening to Tunein.
Does that make sense??

Those numbers represent actual connections to the server - think of it
as "number of radios tuned to Hastings Rock". From that of course you
don't know the number of listeners, there could be one or a whole room
full of people listening.
We don't know how many people are listening via TuneIn because that's
just a "carrier" (your AM/FM equivalent there) however we do have an
idea of what they are listening on - the 2nd report has that. The
largest share "Mozilla" is the web player.

On day one, I saw a total of 116 at one point. That has settled down
to around 70 daytime, 40 ish early evening though this week's local
music show had around 60, finally 20-30 late evening. These are just
spot checks I have made every so often so not that scientific. As
you say, this is streams not listeners but some of those will be us.
Some people may also have us streaming and not be listening.
So the figures would seem very low unless I have some
misunderstanding of what I see. Given that most people have the
capability to listen at home, I would have thought those that are
likely to listen will be doing so. That said it is unlikely they
will all listen at once so the 'reach' over time may be larger than
the spot numbers.
