Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said weekend mornings will never be the same again after the death of “broadcasting legend” Marian Finucane.

RTÉ has announced that Marian Finucane has died.

Marian Finucane was the big winner in the latest radio listenership figures with her total audience for the weekend rising by 75,000.

The revenues at the media firms operated by two of RTE's best-paid presenters, Joe Duffy and Marian Finucane soared last year.

Someone's got competition!

Following weeks of upheaval with the departure of Anton Savage and news Al Porter is to join its ranks, Today FM’s latest JNLR listenership figures show a mixed bag, writes Stephen Rogers.

Accumulated profit at the media firm owned by Marian Finucane last year topped €1m after jumping by more than €68,000.

On the Marian Finucane Show on RTE Radio 1 yesterday morning, Marian caught up with an admirably chirpy Paul O’Connell to discuss the twists and turns of an exhilarating Six Nations denouement.

RTÉ radio remains the dominant player on the Irish airwaves, with more than half of all adults tuning into the station every week.

Poor old Marian had a frog in her throat during her radio show on Saturday. Luckily Daniel was there to step in.
