Pat Kenny’s listenership rises to fresh record on Newstalk as station claims its highest-ever market share
now has more listeners at 9am on RTÉ Radio 1 than the slot did in its final full year withMr Callan’s audience has climbed to 336,000, according to the Joint National Listenership Research survey for July 2023 to the end of June 2024. This is 2,000 higher than the listenership commanded by Mr Tubridy in the previous 12-month period.
All weekday peak-time shows on Radio 1 recorded gains with the exception of News at One, which slipped 6,000 to 295,000. On weekends, Brendan O’Connor’s audience dropped 12,000 to 340,000 on a Saturday and by 9,000 to 346,000 on a Sunday, but both figures remain above where they stood a year ago. In midmorning, 2FM has 141,000 listeners, also up 6,000, indicating that new presenter Laura Fox is performing well. Ms Fox hosted the show in the final months of the survey period before predecessor Jennifer Zamparelli confirmed her departure and has since been installed as the permanent host.
Mr Kenny surged again to a listenership of 244,000 in midmorning, his highest on the station, cementing his position as the most listened-to presenter on commercial radio. On Today FM, which like Newstalk is owned by Bauer Media Audio, there was slippage across its weekday peak-time shows, although Dave Moore’s listenership of 223,000 in midmorning is 7,000 higher than that enjoyed by the slot, which he previously co-presented with Dermot Whelan, a year ago.
