RTE Radio 1 station boss Peter Woods has said that he fears losing two of their top broadcasters Ryan Tubridy and Joe Duffy to rival radio stations in the future, after the latest JNLR radio figures showed a dip in listeners.
Mr Woods said that he in particular worries about losing popular Liveline host Joe, because of the veteran broadcaster's ability and connection in the industry. The RTE Radio 1 chief said: “They are all possibilities because Ryan is an independent contractor.
"Ryan is in radio in RTE for a very long time. It is an absolute possibility and I always look at like Joe Duffy and I always look at that Joe would be the person that I would worry about losing because Joe has that ability and that connection. Ryan has that connection as well.”
