RT Radio 1:
The only Irish Radio Station with a weekly reach of over 1 million
RT Radio 1 increases its market share to 22.1%
Peter Woods, Managing Editor, RT Radio 1 says, A solid book for RT Radio 1 with our programmes performing well across the board. We're particularly happy with the gains for Ryan Tubridy and Ray D'Arcy. We're also very happy to have increased our market share overall, driven by gains in our key demographics. All of this is a tribute to our unparalleled rota of presenters and their hard working teams.

The Marian Finucane Show broadcasts to 374,000 listeners every Saturday ( 45,000 YOY), with 311,000 tuning in on Sunday mornings.

The Ryan Tubridy Show has seen an increase of 4,000 listeners in this book bringing his reach to 332,000 ( 4,000 BOB and 21,000 YOY).
The Ray D'Arcy Show moves up the Top 20 A15 table with 223,000 listeners ( 3,000 BOB and 4,000 YOY) tuning in weekday afternoons from 3pm.

RT 2fm has a weekly reach figure of 839,000/22% of adults 15
RT 2fm time blocks are not comparable Book on Book and Year on Year due to recent schedule change.
Dan Healy, Head of RT Radio Strategy and RT 2FM says, 2FM has experienced a minor change in our JNLR following the recent schedule change. This listenership survey, which measures the 12 months to June 2019, only captures 4 weeks of the new schedule so we will have to wait until later in the year to have a view of how it is performing and it will be this time next year when we have a full 12 month picture.
We are very pleased with how everything sounds on the new schedule. We knew for certain what Tracy Clifford (1pm to 3pm) and Jenny Grenne (3pm to 6pm) would sound like as they are great presenters, both whom have done so well for the station over the past 4 to 5 years.
We also knew that Doireann and Eoghan would create a brilliant show but the speed in which the programme has developed is a huge credit to them and their production team.
Jennifer Zamparelli is creating a new genre of speech radio from 9am and the listener reaction is stunning. New voices are being heard and topics are been explored in a way not heard on Irish radio before.
This is an exciting time for 2FM and we are all working hard to continue to serve young audiences in Ireland in an informative, entertaining and innovative way and I haven't even mentioned the amazing music played each day with Irish artists front and centre!
