Newstalk made that big swoop in the summer for Pat Kenny and there’s only one month in the survey where Pat was at his desk in Newstalk. However, it looks as if there is already some signs of defection from RTE with the 10:00 – 12:30 slot gaining 27,000 – the biggest programme gain in the station. Strangely, not much of those gains transferred to Lunchtime.
| Time | Programme | 2013_3 | 2012_3 | +/- |
| 07.00-10.00 | Breakfast | 121 | 133 | -12 |
| 10.00-12.30 | Pat Kenny | 78 | 51 | 27 |
| 12.30-13.30 | Lunchtime | 65 | 62 | 3 |
| 13.30-16.30 | Moncrieff | 110 | 94 | 16 |
| 16.30-19.00 | The Right Hook | 135 | 136 | -1 |
| 19.00-22.00 | Off the Ball | 40 | 46 | -6 |
You can clearly see a marked improvement from 10:00pm which might be attributable to Pat Kenny.
