Finucane loses 100,000 weekend listeners

Almost 100,000 listeners have turned off Marian Finucane at the weekends in the last year, according to the latest figures from the Joint National Listenership Research.

The veteran presenter has seen her RTÉ Radio 1 listenership drop on Saturday from 385,000 last year to 358,000. On Sundays, she is seeing a 20% drop, from 364,000 to 291,000.

The latest JNLRs do not make pretty reading for a number of presenters with both RTÉ and Today FM.
