Listen to the online radio of RTÉ Radio 1 live, Ireland’s primary information source which started it’s broadcast almost a century ago, in 1926. Originally launched as “2RN” and it was the first radio service of the Irish Free State. Through the historical times, the station had several names, and finally in 1979 arrived to its current name, which comes from the name of the owner Raidió Teilifís Éireann, Ireland’s National Public Service Broadcaster.
RTÉ Radio One has the biggest listenership in Ireland because not just keeps its listeners in line with the latest Ireland news and world news, but also entertains with a nice selection of music, and phone-in talks with the listeners, and naturally the sports news and weather reports diversify the programmes, so all demands are satisfied in one broadcast.
The radio has been broadcasting the “Morning Ireland” since 1984 which is Ireland’s most listened to, and thus the most influential worldview shaping radio programme in the country. “Morning Ireland” is the number one in spreading the knowledge about the current affairs, politics and sports of Ireland and the world on every weekday from 7am to 9am presented by Rachael English, Gavin Jennings, Audrey Carville, Aine Lawlor and Mary Wilson.
