Dan Healy, Head of RT Radio Strategy and RT 2FM says, 2FM is now six months into the new schedule and there are really positive signs for Breakfast with Doireann & Eoghan with strong growth for younger audiences.
We also embarked upon a new direction at 9am with a three hour talk show with Jennifer Zamparelli. She now has the biggest 15-34 radio show in the country. In fact 6 of the top ten programmes for this audience or on the station which underpins the fact that 2FM is the biggest 15-34 station in Ireland with a market share of 13.8%. We have also experienced strong advertising support for 2FM in the last year and this result should bolster the confidence clients have in the station.
For all of us in 2FM Larry Gogan's passing has been front and center in our minds today. Larry was on Radio before there was ever a radio audience measurement in Ireland and this survey is the first that he has not been part of. Larry was always the nation's favourite and his amazing legacy makes all of us want to try harder.
