On 6 November 2019, RTÉ management announced that, as part of a major cost-saving program, all its digital radio stations would be closed, including RTÉjr Radio.[2] However on 2 March 2021 it was revealed by RTÉ that the broadcaster would close its DAB radio network while retaining its digital radio services.[3]
On November 16, 2023, RTÉ announced the closure of most of its digital-only services, including RTÉjr Radio, in 2024, as part of the broadcaster's 'New Direction' internal restructuring.
