Rose Anderson, Executive Director of New York Festivals International Radio Awards, said: "New York Festivals is proud to recognise RTÉ as the Broadcaster of the Year in the radio category.
"Once again, their exceptional and innovative programming - from drama to documentary and reporting - demonstrating the power of the individual voice, the depth of their subject matter and their storytelling ability, has captured the attention of RTÉ's radio listeners and the New York Festivals International Radio Awards Grand Jury."
Jim Jennings, Managing Director of RTÉ Radio, said: "For RTÉ to be named New York Festivals' Radio Broadcaster of the Year for the third time is truly an honour.
"The win is testament not only to the collective output of our radio stations, but also to the global appeal of our programming. In this digital age t is important that our content appeals to our international audience as much as our listeners in Ireland.
"Our programmes not only have relevance to our global audience, they also resonate to a point that RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm have been collectively named Broadcaster of the Year once again.
"This is extremely important to us as a public service broadcaster. I would like to wholeheartedly thank New York Festivals and extend my congratulations to the producers, editors and staff in RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm who have excelled in their dedication, creativity and professionalism once again."
