RTÉ's 'Game On' Listenership Figures Rise While It's A Mixed Bag For Newstalk Sport

RTÉ 2fm's evening sports show Game On has seen its listenership figures rise by 3,000 over the last quarter, according JNLR results released today. The show, which started on 2fm in February has now grown to 23,000 listeners.

Elsewhere Newstalk's evening sports show Off the Ball's listenership is now at 41,000, a drop of 2,000 book-on-book. While it is indeed a decrease, it also shows that they have held on to the vast majority of their audience despite the departure of its the Second Captains team of Eoin McDevitt, Ken Early, Ciaran Murphy, Simon Hick and Mark Horgan in March.

There was also some good news however for Newstalk Sport Saturday and Sunday with audience figures jumping to a combined 145,000 – a rise of 4,000 in the last year.
