Ciaran Cunningham CEO Radiocentre Ireland said

I am delighted that the JNLR listenership data released today shows clearly the huge power and popularity of radio among the Irish population. Radio delivers unrivalled audience numbers on a daily and weekly basis. Radio listening is booming and today’s figures are a great reminder that Irish radio is a central part of people’s lives. As a commercial medium, radio gives brands a way to speak to millions of people every day”.
