The announcement – good old Sunday-for-Monday style – bagged some belting broadcast coverage, including wildly positive interviews with BBC Radio Five Live and Radio 4’s You & Yours. It also made the national hourly news on 6Music and Five Live through the day.
Daily Mail, METRO, Wall Street Journal, SKY News, HuffPo, The Guardian, TIME Magazine, The Independent and a bunch of around 70 others besides ran the story online and in print today.
