Commenting on the latest figures Jim Jennings, Managing Director, RT Radio said: This is a very strong result. RT Radio 1 remains the number one choice for listeners across the week. It's particularly pleasing to see Radio 1's mid morning programmes increase their audiences. There are encouraging strong figures on RT 2fm at weekends: the challenge for the station is now to replicate that for weekdays and it's a challenge new head Dan Healy is tackling head-on. RT lyric fm is growing its loyal audience and is another example of how weekends are the big winner in these latest results.
