After a string of presenter departures including Doireann Garrihy, Jennifer Zamparelli and the 2 Johnnies, 2FM’s market share retreated to 5.7 per cent, down from 6.2 per cent, according to the Joint National Listenership Research survey for October 2023 to the end of September 2024. Head of 2FM Dan Healy said RTÉ was “confident” the schedule would “meet the needs of young audiences in Ireland”.
There were pluses and minuses over on RTÉ Radio 1, as Morning Ireland’s recent gains were unwound but Oliver Callan’s listenership nudged higher. On Today FM, the bright spot on weekdays was Ray Foley, who saw his listenership jump by 14,000 to 169,000. Dave Moore’s audience fell 15,000 to 208,000, however, and there were modest declines for Ian Dempsey, lunchtime presenter Louise Cantillon and The Last Word with Matt Cooper.
