Feedback Friday (1630-1700) and Sunday (2000-2030)

• In quarter 2 2012 Feedback (both the Friday and Sunday transmission) reached 1.1m listeners each week.• The fall in listeners over the past few quarters has been driven by its move in the schedule, from being tx

on 13:30 on a Friday to 16:30 in Q3 2011.

FeedbackAudience comments

Listeners to Feedback enjoy hearing how and why the BBC has made certain decisions. They also appreciate that what could be a very dry subject matter (complaints and comments ) is packaged up in an entertaining way. There are a minority of listeners who listen purely to be entertained.

What do you like about the programme?

“Very entertaining. What could be a boring comments show is made into much more.” Female, 49

“Good to hear explanations for decisions and problems.” Female, 76

“I'm always more interested when listeners' opinions chime with my own. I often shout at the radio when Feedback is on. It is a valuable part of broadcasting because it makes us feel included (possibly wrongly) on the subject of what constitutes 'quality'.” Female, 76

“Lovely to have Feedback on again. It's really good to be able to hear that someone takes radio listeners' views seriously and holds the BBC to account for some of their more unpopular decisions! Not that it changes policy much, I'm sure...” Female, 61

“I find the programme itself very funny (the things people complain about!!)” Male, 59

“It was quite humorous! I spent an enjoyable half-hour, in rush our traffic, listening to the pro's and cons of how to say 2012. Do something like that again!” Male, 57

“Point of view show for listeners of BBC Radio. Always interesting, especially when someone complains about something that you also find a bit of a bugbear. Presenter, Roger Bolton sees himself as the Listener's representative so never lets any producers/programme controllers off the hook.” Female, 47
