Task D:


Task E:

In the total hour charts (ranging from 2005-Dec 2017) an average of 1,500,000 tune into the radio station each month. Although the numbers seem to be dropping more and more throughout the years. The station clearly is not as popular as it used to be.
The total average of hours that listeners tune in for is an average of 12, this number slightly falling as it hits 2008.
The final graph shows how many people in the Cambridgeshire area listen to the radio. On average a total of 650,000.0 adults (15+) listen BBC Radio Cambridge monthly, this level has ranged over the years from around 550,000.0 in 1999 to the early 2000, to around 750,000.0 in 2017.
the last chart is unusual because its the only one out of the three that go up in viewers. the rest seem to have lost time and viewers over the years (this may be from viewers in other areas not listening in anymore).
