Safe Revolution pays off

Safe Revolution pays off

DJ turned radio station owner Steve Penk came across as a bit of a wally back in September when he told Manchester Confidential that turning former indie station The Revolution into a Radio 2 clone ‘is what freedom of choice is about’ and saying he couldn’t understand why the station’s former DJs walked out on that.

However, the perhaps sad fact is that emulating Radio 2 has doubled Revolution’s audience share albeit from a low base.

I guess the real Revolution will have to wait.

    Paid links & reader offers

    Many businesses offer payment to those who link to them and paid-for links are often used here in preference to free links. While such links are not as obvious as other forms of pay-per-click advertising, they still don’t influence views expressed. Entries labelled 'Reader Offer' are advertising promotions.
