RTÉ radio suffers decline as rivals attract listeners

RTÉ is failing in its attempt to halt a major slide in radio listeners while its main rivals Today FM and Newstalk 106 continue to increase their audiences.

The latest Joint National Listenership Research results show that the national broadcaster is continuing to haemorrhage listeners at the apparent expense of both national, regional and local independent stations.

The JNLR figures show RTÉ’s two main stations, Radio One and 2FM have failed to halt a downward trend in audience figures over the past number of years.
