RTÉ Radio 1 Tops Poll
RTÉ Radio 1 holds strong as the nation's favourite radio station as the latest JNLR listenership figures record strong gains across the schedule. On weekdays, Liveline, Today with Pat Kenny, News at One, Mooney and Drivetime all recorded gains. The increases were mirrored at weekends, with significant lift for The Marian Finucane Show (Sat). Other book-on-book weekend winners include Miriam Meets, The Business, Sunday Sport and Documentary on One.
Radio 1's strong weekday performance was mirrored in the evenings with book-on-book gains for Arena, The John Creedon Show and Claire Byrne's Late Debate. RTÉ Radio 1 conclusively now has 17 of the top 20 programmes nationally, with weekday reach stable at 25%.
Gains Accross The Weekday
RTÉ 2fm today welcomed gains to key daytime shows as it announced a significant 12-month programming and promotions plan. There were gains for Tubridy, The Colm Hayes Show, Larry Gogan's Golden Hour, Rick in the Afternoon, More Music Drive with Will Leahy and The Dave Fanning Show.
The station noted the very marginal decline on Breakfast with Hector. Said station-head John McMahon: "There's some really encouraging signals in these figures. Looking at 6-month trends there's strong indications of growth. We believe in 2fm and are determined over the next 12 months to re-assert our place in the listening habits of the Irish public. We promise more action and more excitement in 2012."
lyric fm Hits 4%
RTÉ lyric fm has grown by 5000 listeners book-on-book to a 7-day reach of 261,000, with year-on-year and book-on-book growth for key weekday programmes. Meanwhile the station has realised a three-year strategic goal to reach 4% on weekdays. Niall Carroll's Classic Drive gained 6,000 book-on-book and 7,000 year-on-year to 57,000 listeners, while The John Kelly Ensemble is up 2,000 book-on-book and 5,000 year-on-year to 35,000.
Says Aodan Ó Dubhghaill, Head of lyric fm: "This is another truly satisfying book for lyric. Not only have we hit the elusive 4%, but these ongoing strong gains year-on-year and book-on-book for most of our key daytime shows indicates that lyric is a real alternative for listeners. Gains to breakfast and drivetime - two key slots - are particularly gratifying."
