The document discusses Absolute Radio's growing digital presence and streaming listenership. It notes that 53% of Absolute Radio's national listening is now digital, and their streaming was bigger than BBC Radio 2 in May. Their Absolute.iAmp app has over 100,000 installs with 24,000 weekly launches. They learned to launch apps fast, focus on stability, and not get discouraged by low ratings. Absolute Radio is expanding their mobile apps to Android as well.
