Tubridy leads the way as listeners tune out from high-profile presenters

Listeners to a number of the country’s top radio stars have been turning off in their thousands, according to the latest Joint National Listenership Report (JNLR) published yesterday.

In both RTÉ and Today FM it was mainly the most high-profile presenters who endured the biggest slumps in their audiences when compared to a year ago.

At RTÉ 2fm, Ryan Tubridy suffered one of the most significant losses. His listenership dropped by 16,000 compared to last year, to 159,000. However, it must be pointed out that the figure held steady from last April, when the last set of JNLR figures were released.
