PA adds that Rajar's findings also show, for example, that Greg James' breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 is up 4 percent year-on-year from 3.9 million to 4.1 million; no comparable figures for the previous quarter are available, because of a change in the programme's transmission time.
Radio presenter Zoe, 54, stepped down from her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show in December to 'focus on her family'.
Much-loved Zoe fronted her final breakfast show for the station back in December after six years in the role.
An average of 6.8 million listeners tuned in to her show each week across the final quarter of last year, according to research body Rajar.
Radio 4's audience slipped to 9.0 million in October-December 2024, down 7 percent on the previous three months but a fall of only 1% on the equivalent period in 2023.
