2FM Breakfast delivers to 111,000 listeners, (+8,000), while Tracy Clifford on 2FM has 129,000 listeners (+1,000).

The results come ahead of some major changes at the station.

Last month, Jenny Greene announced she would no longer host the drivetime slot on RTÉ 2FM in a shock statement.

The 2 Johnnies will replace Jenny in the coveted drivetime slot, with their new gig starting on February 21 from 3-6pm.

Drive It with The 2 Johnnies will serve up banging tunes, good craic and great new segments to keep listeners entertained weekdays.

Louise McSharry’s show was also axed from the station last October, after 11 years on air.

Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ Radio Strategy and RTÉ 2FM, said of today’s JNLR results: “As Ireland starts to come out of Covid this survey clearly shows how well radio has performed.”

“There are 1,059,000 adults listening to radio on average between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday. That is an 89,000 increase for every hour since the last survey before Covid. This was a good book for RTÉ 2FM with audience growing across all our shows.”

“Doireann, Donncha and Carl have done well at breakfast, with 15- to 34-year-olds coming to listen to the show. This continues with Jennifer Zamparelli, Tracy Clifford and a very good result for Jenny Greene. ”

“Shortly The 2 Johnnies will join the station and with all our other programmes, we anticipate that RTÉ 2fm will continue to grow in 2022.”
