All peak time weekday programmes have increased audience with further strong growth for Breakfast Republic. Three years ago we started a programme strategy to appeal to younger listeners and this is now paying off as most of 2fm's growth has come from listeners under 35 years of age. I would like to thank all our listeners for their loyalty and look forward to seeing our West and North-western listeners on Friday night when Jenny Greene and the wonderful RT Concert Orchestra perform at the Galway Arts Festival."
