OLIVER Callan had 21,000 more listeners than Ryan Tubridy’s last year on RTE Radio 1, as the former Late Late Show host's new show on Q102 saw a fall.

The latest JNLR figures reveal that Callan’s 9am slot - which he took over from Tubridy - now has 355,000 listeners.

This is 25,000 more year on year, and 21,000 more than Tubridy’s final year.

After Tubridy’s shock departure in the summer of 2023, the former RTE star moved to Virgin Radio UK, where he presents a mid-morning show called The Ryan Tubridy Show.
