Managing Editor Patricia Monaghan said she was “delighted” with the numbers.
“It is great recognition of all the hard work, energy and creativity that our programme teams put in every day,” she said.
“They deliver great content to our listeners and enable our presenters, reporters and contributors to have the conversations that count to our audience.
“I would particularly like to congratulate Pat Kenny and his show team on a great result and one that is very well deserved.
“Pat recently celebrated ten years at Newstalk and has never sounded better. It is great to see that the audience are continuing to move the dial to hear more of him.”
