RTÉ slips in JNLR statistics

RTÉ has once again seen significant falls in year-on-year audience figures, with tens of thousands of listeners tuning out in comparison to 12 months ago.

In the statistics from the Joint National Listenership Research (JNLR), almost every Radio 1 week-day show saw declines. Morning Ireland’s total fell by 27,000 to 417,000, while John Murray’s mid-morning show saw a 28,000 drop to 287,000.

For Seán O’Rourke, the fall was less significant at 9,000 meaning he now has 303,000 listeners. News at One’s audience has fallen from 336,000 to 307,000 while Joe Duffy’s Liveline pulls in 367,000 listeners, 23,000 fewer than 12 months ago.
