This past weekend saw the doors close for the final time at the 113-year-old Whitechapel Library. The library was founded 1892 by the Liberal MP J Passmore Edwards (there’s a nice picture of the man himself here) and quickly garnered a reputation as “the university …
Capital FM is back at the top of the Rajar charts, according to the latest figures for the April-June period. Heart went from a market-leading 7% share to 5%, whereas Capital held steady at 6.1%. Beneficiaries of Heart’s slump appeared to be the smaller stations …
