Weekend radio shows have received a boost in listener figures, but weekday shows at RTÉ have taken a hit, according to the latest figures.

The quarterly Joint National Listenership Research (JNLR) figures showed Brendan O’Connor leading the charge with his weekend slot on Radio 1 with similar boosts for Miriam O’Callaghan and This Week on RTÉ, along with Anton Savage on Newstalk and Alison Curtis on Today FM.
