Like Mrs Brown's Boys, the Radio Times had a good Christmas with its overall sale up 3.1% on 2011 to 2,175,056, according to the publishers' equivalent of overnight TV ratings. Such was its success, the listings mag market, which would have declined 0.38% without it, grew 0.57% year on year over the festive period. Why would the RT alight on that particular stat, Monkey Wonders? Anyway, Radio Times managing director Kathy Day said it was a "phenomenal performance". The mag, edited by Ben Preston, was helped by its first TV advertising campaign since 2005. Other TV listings magazines are available.
