Oliver Callan’s time slot is among the programmes to lose listeners for RTÉ Radio 1, though station maintains its market sharePat Kenny’s audience on Newstalk has surged to a new record high to become the most listened to show on Irish commercial radio, while Radio 1′s 9am weekday slot is among the programmes on the RTÉ station losing listeners, the latest radio figures show.
Radio 1′s hour-long 9am slot, presented by Oliver Callan on a permanent basis since the end of January, now has an audience of 330,000. This is down 13,000 on the previous survey and is 5,000 lower than the listenership recorded a year ago. Today with Claire Byrne held steady on 341,000 listeners and Louise Duffy added 4,000 to reach an audience of 218,000 at noon. There were modest declines across the rest of the peak-time weekday Radio 1 schedule, though most retained the same or a higher audience than they commanded a year ago – the exception being Liveline, which now has 301,000 listeners, down 5,000 year-on-year.
“The success of The Pat Kenny Show is particularly rewarding and richly deserved by Pat and his team,” said Newstalk managing editor Patricia Monahan. “While the Q102 figure only includes three months for the new Ryan Tubridy Show, it is pleasing to see that it and the other shows across the schedule are delivering new listeners and playing a strong part in its growth story,” Wireless said.
