Peter Woods, Head of RT Radio 1 said: This book is a consolidation of radio and Radio 1's position post Covid. As that tide washes out and more people are back in the workplace, our programmes remain at the centre of Irish life, as witnessed this week following the RT Documentary on One's programme, Blackrock Boys and the Liveline follow-up in particular. It is encouraging to see many of our programmes attract unprecedented audiences, including the Brendan O'Connor Sunday programme which is neck and neck with the Saturday audience for the first time in that slot.
