The leader board is very much the same in terms of players, but some positions have changed. Joe is still not King. He’s the heir apparent no doubt, but this quarter again still only second in line to the RTE and national throne.
The big ones would be Marion’s’ Sunday slot loosing 44,000 listeners and dropping in the table from #4 to #9.
The biggest gain in the top 30 was Playback adding 24,000 listeners and Sunday Miscellany likewise adding 24,000. Notably both are the early morning slots at the weekend and showing good gains. Drivetime also pulled in and extra 22,000 and Countrywide added 21,000.
Some of the losers can point at, in part, rescheduling of their slots. The Saturday 13:00 slot where Charlie Bird broadcast for a while, was half an hour longer last year and the comparison is a little hard. But those what can’t rely on the ‘rescheduling excuse’; Sunday Sport was down 12%, Tubridy down 9% and Mooney 7%.
Hector joined the top 30 but keeping his numbers whist other above him past year didn’t.
