create some of my own questions 

During this research, i realised how successful BBC Radio was as an whole. To be able to maintain the first 3 positions as the most listened to radio stations in the UK, means they are doing something right to maintain their audience. If i want to focus on being successful and appealing i should really focus on looking into the BBC establishment.
