There always has to be a top something or other, so here’s the Irish Radio top thirty. Twenty two of the top thirty births are occupied by an RTE station. The big gains, in percentage terms, are for Pat Kenny, two breakfast shows and the two sports slots on RTE (see bottom of the page).
Fallers were News at One and Liveline (one wonders was there a slight knock on effect there). Miriam Meets falls dips 9%, the Business falls 7% and Sean O’Rourke down 6%.
