More are moving the dial to Kenny on Newstalk

Figures for Kenny’s morning slot increased by 20,000 to an average listenership of 134,000 between the 12 months to the end of March and the 12 months to the end of June. While comparable figures for Sean O’Rourke, who took over Kenny’s slot on RTÉ Radio 1, show he still has more than twice as many listeners, that 307,000 figure is down 5,000 in three months.

It is down from 327,000 average listenership for the same morning slot on RTÉ 1 across 2013, but a truer picture of the head-to-head may not emerge until the full year after Kenny’s defection in September.
