Chris Moyles continues to increase his Radio 1 audience

He got his biggest-ever audience, 7.31m, between September and December 2007 - a rise of 330,000 from the previous quarter.

But Wake Up To Wogan remains the UK's most popular morning show with 7.73m weekly listeners.

Overall, radio audiences were stable, with 45m adults tuning in every week.

Just under 17% of people now listen to radio on a digital receiver, with ownership of DAB radios jumping 40% in the last year.

For the BBC, that means more than 9m people listen to their services on digital platforms.

'Heartening'

Jenny Abrambsky, director of BBC Audio and Music said: "It is really heartening to see digital listening continuing to grow and DAB digital radio playing a key part in that success."

This time last year, Moyles was attracting 6.82m, giving him an annual increase of almost half a million.

Over the same period, Wogan has lost a quarter of a million listeners.

It means the audience gap between the two breakfast shows is the smallest ever, but Moyles' show is 90 minutes longer than Wogan's, giving him longer to attract people.

Amongst commercial stations, Classic FM maintained its market share despite a slight drop in weekly listeners.

And Capital Radio, which features Johnny Vaughan in its breakfast slot, increased its weekly audience to 1.5m listeners.
