Listeners ‘tuning out’ of popular radio shows

The country’s main radio stations are all celebrating an increase in listener numbers — but the latest JNLR figures still show people are switching off several of the most popular programmes.

Listeners ‘tuning out’ of popular radio shows

At RTÉ Radio 1 it would appear to be the station’s daily morning and early afternoon programmes which are particularly suffering.

The iconic news show Morning Ireland has experienced a drop of 13,000 from last year though it still has 441,000 listeners. The John Murray Show has suffered a drop of 12,000 to 318,000 and 6,000 fewer are tuning in to Pat Kenny’s show, which attracts 321,000. Ronan Collins has 22,000 fewer people listening in.
