RT Radio 1 has made gains to its weekday schedule, with book-on-book consolidation across key slots. The latest set of listenership figures sees the station retain its position as Ireland's most-listened-to radio station, with a weekly reach of 1,322,000. Radio 1 is the only station in the country with a weekly reach of over 1,000,000.
Jim Jennings, Head of Radio 1, says: It's a solid book for Radio 1, and especially gratifying to see such strong gains in key daytime shows, starting with Morning Ireland, and continuing right through to Mooney. Again, we see some churn at the weekends. Encouragingly, despite some losses book-on-book Mary Wilson's Drivetime is up 15,000 year-on-year. News at One also records a very impressive gain of 19,000 year-on-year.
