New JNLR figures show a significant decline in listenership for most RTÉ radio shows. The head of 2FM, Dan Healy, described the situation as “stable” in response to the figures. The word “stable” is typically used to describe someone’s condition after serious injuries, such as being in hospital with a stable condition. The contrast between the reported decline and the “stable” characterization suggests the positive framing does not match the data.
