Abstract:
    Using the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI) at 16GHz and the Very
    Small Array (VSA) at 33GHz to make follow-up observations of sources
    in the New Extragalactic WMAP Point Source catalogue, we have
    investigated the flux density variability in a complete sample of 97
    sources over time-scales of a few months to ∼1.5yr.
