Today FM gains as RTÉ’s big hitters lose listeners

A number of RTÉ radio’s biggest shows have once again experienced big losses in listenership figures with Today FM reaping the benefits.

While Radio One and, in particular, 2FM did experience a number of gains compared to the last quarter, year-on-year there were declines for Ryan Tubridy (down 11,000 to 175,000), Miriam O’Callaghan’s Miriam Meets (down 8,000 to 271,000), Morning Ireland (down 16,000 to 444,000) and Marian Finucane’s Sunday Show (down 14,000 to 341,000).

However, on a brighter note, 2FM saw gains for a number of its other big names including Colm Hayes (up 8,000 to 141,000), Larry Gogan (up 11,000 to 89,000) Rick O’Shea (up 9,000 to 123,000) and Will Leahy (up 15,000 to 119,000).
