Commenting on the latest radio figures for RT , Jim Jennings, Managing Director, RT Radio says:
The weekday schedule on RT Radio 1 continues to grow its audience and maintain its position as the number one station for news, current affairs, entertainment, sport, arts and music. Each week, 37 per cent of the adult population tune in. With audience gains throughout the morning, this is a great result for Radio 1.
On RT lyric fm, it is encouraging to see the station maintain its market share and see Marty Whelan growing his audience in the morning.
The increase in listenership on RT 2FM is encouraging, particularly in the younger demographic.
RT offers a suite of radio stations, catering for all age groups and it is heartening to see the audience responding in huge numbers.

It's been a good few months for 2FM. The changes we made have had a full 12 months to bed in now and we're really beginning to make strides. Breakfast Republic has had a great result and we continue to see gains throughout the day. We've also seen Larry Gogan's figures go up (Saturday), his increase is testament to his iconic status on Irish radio we're very lucky.
The past few months, particularly since Electric Picnic at the beginning of September, have been really exciting in terms of special events and collaborations: Jenny Greene and the RT Concert Orchestra; the 2FM Xmas Ball in aid of ISPCC; the RT Choice Music Prize. Our job now is to keep that momentum going into 2017 and beyond. Today we announced the shortlist for RT Choice Music Prize Song of the Year and we're going to be kicking that off at a gig at the Workman's Club in Dublin tonight, buoyed by the latest figures. We're going in the right direction.
