RTÉ 2FM suffers further loss in listeners in latest JNLR report

RTÉ 2FM has suffered a further loss in listeners in the latest JNLR report.

The latest JNLR listenership figures for the period October ’24 – September ’25 were published today.

It was a mixed bag for RTÉ 2FM, with weekday and weekend shows generally slipping while some made some modest gains. 

2FM Breakfast has 131,000 listeners tuning in on weekday mornings, a decrease of 8,000 since the last report three months ago.

Laura Fox on 2FM has 125,000 listeners to her 9am-12pm show, an increase of 3,000 compared to the last report, while The Tracy Clifford Show increased listenership by 1,000 to 111,000 listeners enjoying the best of Irish music.

2FM Drive with Doireann Garrihy entertains listeners across the country on their evening commute with 124,000 listeners, a decrease of 1,000 since the last report.

Meanwhile, Game On suffered a dip of 7,000 with 30,000 listeners tuning in on weeknights.

2FM Weekend Breakfast with Helen & Benny has 57,000 listeners on Saturdays and on Sunday 27,000 listeners, a 7,000 decrease since the last report.

Weekend on 2FM with Bláthnaid Treacy on Saturdays has 139,000 listeners and on Sundays 118,000.

2FM Weekend Afternoon with Demi & Mikey has 135,000 listeners on Saturdays, an increase of 8,000, and on Sundays they have 106,000 listeners.

2FM Weekend Drive with Emma & Graham has 109,000 listeners on Saturdays, a decrease of 4,000, and 84,000 listeners on Sunday, an increase of 6,000.

Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ 2FM, said: “This survey covers just over 6 months of the new 2FM schedule, and the station has certainly stabilised following a period of change. We are very happy with how all our shows are progressing.

“Demi Isaac and Mikey O Reilly are filling in for Doireann over the next few months and that show has really hit the ground fast. The Laura Fox Show and Tracy Clifford Show has also seen good gains book on book.

“Weekends remain strong and to make sure they remain strong, Katja Mia has come in for Bláthnaid Treacy while she is on leave, Katja sounds like she has been on air for years.

“Game On is moving from 2FM, with a news sports programme Inside Sport starting weekdays on RTÉ Radio 1, so Beta DaSilva’s new music show will start from next Wednesday at 6pm with a heavy focus on new and unsigned Irish music.”
