The latest JNLR results for the period July ’22 to June ’23 have been released, with a host of RTÉ stars celebrating an increase in listeners.
Among those celebrating are The 2 Johnnies, aka Johnny McMahon and Johnny O’Brien, as their audience has increased by +10,000 BoB to 140,000 with their show Drive it with The 2 Johnnies on 2FM.
2FM Breakfast with Doireann, Donncha, and Carl has also attracted a boost in listeners to 138,000 tuning in on weekday mornings (+3,000 BoB).
Carl Mullan and Donncha O’Callaghan joined Doireann Garrihy as hosts of 2FM Breakfast in May 2021, following the sudden departure of Eoghan McDermott.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Zamparelli’s listenership has remained the same at 133,000, while Tracy Clifford has a listenership at 107,000.
Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ Radio Strategy and RTÉ 2FM, said: “2FM is in good health following the publication of listenership results for the most recent period.”
“In general, most of our programmes have experienced an increase in audience. Particularly pleasing for all of us at 2FM is the continuous growth at breakfast time with Doireann, Donncha and Carl.”

Mr Healy continued: “With each quarter the show experiences steady growth. Producer Grace Callaghan and right hand person Willem McCarthy also deserve credit for the good shape the show is in.”
“The two lads from Cahir, not yet on air two years, are out performing 2FM’s primetime share by 25%, this is a phenomenal result for The 2 Johnnies. ”
“Our new weekend schedule is also bedding in well and I look forward to the next set of results.”
“As ever a massive thanks to our loyal audience and big welcome to our new listeners.”
