RT Radio Remains the Number 1 Choice 1,859,000 (52%) adults listen to RT Radio every week and RT Radio scores 18 of the Top 20 programmes among adults 15+.
Commenting on the latest figures Jim Jennings, Managing Director, RT Radio said: This is a very encouraging book for RT Radio and RT Radio 1 in particular with the station increasing its listenership. For Sean O'Rourke to increase his listenership year on year is a remarkable achievement given the amount of changes in the radio market this year. 2fm also had a very good book with an increase in its audience and with a new schedule about to launch we feel that there are exciting times ahead for the station. RT lyric fm also had a great book with the station increasing both its daily reach and market share and Marty Whelan increasing his audience to over 40,000.
