The quarterly JNLR radio research was released earlier and the first item of note is that the brakes look like they have been finally applied to the overall listenership of both National and Dublin listenership, national steady at 82% and Dublin at 75%.
National
Looking at the stations in the National picture, Today FM is the only station to show a percentage drop book on book – down one point to 10% their lowest figure to date. The rest of the stations remained very much as is/was.
