What is the ±«Óãtv's plan for younger listeners?

Andrea Catherwood explores the challenges facing the ±«Óãtv with young listeners.

The future of the ±«Óãtv depends on renewing its listener base - but younger people are switching off linear radio and focusing on personally tailored forms of media. So how does the ±«Óãtv compete, and what are its strategies for winning over younger listeners?

Andrea Catherwood speaks to Matt Walsh from the University of Cardiff, hears a panel of students discuss their listening habits, and quizzes ±«Óãtv Sounds commissioning editor Dylan Haskins and Head of Radio 1 Aled Haydn Jones on what they're doing to try and attract new generations of listeners. She also asks whether the ±«Óãtv's focus on newer listeners could risk alienating existing, loyal audiences.

And reporter John Rogers goes behind the scenes at youth oriented news podcast Reliable Sauce.

Producer: Leeanne Coyle

A Whistledown Scotland production for ±«Óãtv Radio 4
