In general, most of our programmes have experienced an increase in audience. Particularly pleasing for all of us at 2FM is the continuous growth at breakfast time with Doireann, Donncha and Carl. With each quarter the show experiences steady growth. Producer Grace Callaghan and right hand person Willem McCarthy also deserve credit for the good shape the show is in. The two lads from Cahir , not yet on air two years, are out performing 2FM's primetime share by 25%, this is a phenomenal result for The 2 Johnnies. Our new weekend schedule is also bedding in well and I look forward to the next set of results. As ever a massive thanks to our loyal audience and big welcome to our new listeners.

Sin ad Wylde, Head of RT lyric fm said: Building on morning growth in the last book which has been retained with Marty in the Morning's 57,000 listeners, in this book I'm happy to see share gains right across weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. In particular the growth is reflected in afternoon gains with an increase of 6,000 listeners for Lorcan Murray's Classic Drive and a 2,000 listener increase for Liz Nolan's The Full Score/ Aed n in the Afternoon programmes. Retaining growth in the 35 54 agegroup of listeners who have come to us over the last year confirms how new programmes such as Aed n in the Afternoon, Ambient Orbit and S an Rocks on Sunday on RT lyric fm are appealing to these new audiences. The 6,000 listener increase in Opera Night highlights the appetite for opera and classical music and reinforces RT lyric fm's place in the lives of Irish audiences.
