The decrease in audience for BBC Radio 2 constitutes a loss of around 7% for The Station on the previous quarter.
Radio 2 boss Helen Thomas said: " Radio 2 remains the UK's most popular radio station with 13. 5 million loyal listeners who tune in each week to The Best music from The Past seven decades, presented by some of the country's most loved presenters.
" Congratulations to The Brilliant Zoe Ball who continues to host The Most listened to Breakfast Show in the country, " she added.
The Last Year has seen several big names on Radio 2 either leave or have their number of programmes reduced - including Bruce, Steve Wright , Vanessa Feltz and Craig Charles .
Greatest Hits Radio now has nearly 6 million listeners overall, with its drivetime host Simon Mayo , another former Radio 2 presenter, attracting 2. 3 million listeners.
In a statement, Bruce commented: " I've always said that it's not really about the numbers and it's not, for me at least, but I'm delighted to hear today's news for The Team here at my new home, Greatest Hits Radio.
" My first four months have flown by and I've loved every minute of it - and there's much more to come. [The Show ] wouldn't be what it is without its listeners so your company is always much appreciated. "
On Thursday, parent company Bauer announced Bruce would front a new GHR spin-off station dedicated to music from the 1960s.
Bruce also recently launched a TV adaptation of his popular quiz PopMaster, which he took with him from Radio 2 to GHR.
