Meanwhile, 2fm continues to pull in large audiences, however shows including Breakfast Republic and The Nicky Byrne Show have experienced a slight dip in viewers.
“We have rebranded in the last few weeks. It’s a brand new schedule and we have to give it time,” they said.
“We have fantastic presenters and you just have to give it time to grow. We’re very happy and the younger audiences are coming in their droves.”
