Dublin-based broadcaster Radio Nova has surged ahead in the latest JNLR radio ratings, passing out some of its major competitors in key demographics for the first time. The latest JNLR ratings cover the period Jan – Dec 2011; they show that the station has consolidated an 11% weekly and 6% daily reach in the Greater Dublin area after only 16 months on air. “We’ve now overtaken major competitors 2FM, Today FM, 98FM and Q102 in key demographics in the city, and we now have more than half the daily audience of 98FM. This is our fifth JNLR survey since we launched and it is by far our best yet; we’ve shown strong continued growth in our 25-54 demographic”, said Kevin Branigan, CEO.
